For Whose Entertainment?

Well start me up
Run it again
I'm not a puppet
But somedays I feel the tug of a hand
I can't move where I choose
I get used on demand
As a part in a production that I do not understand
I get caught
Spinning out
Knuckles lily white
Didn't buy a ticket
Still I'm sitting on the ride
Sick from the physics
And it's limits on my life
And they tell me it's a privilege
I'm like
Is it
Oh alright

This simulation
Seems so real
It makes me shake
And I can't take a break
I need stimulation
To make me feel
Like I'm fully awake
As I loop through my days
For whose entertainment
And who's got my payment
For these showbiz days

Watch me
Watch me
Watch me
Watch me do my new trick
I can leave my body
While my body's going through it
Going through the motions
While I'm seeming fairly lucid
I don't dream of labor
But a dream might get me through it
Floating away
Going places
While my body pays the cost of its age
All on screen
Somewhere streaming at impossible rates
Another product of the process
Generating these infinite varions

This simulation
Seems so real
It makes me shake
And I can't take a break
I need stimulation
To make me feel
Like I'm fully awake
As I loop through my days
For whose entertainment
And who's got my payment
For these showbiz days

Look
I'm so tired
Of this type of place
Must be how I'm wired
There must be some mistake
Near Alpha Centauri
Maybe they toy with fate
They watch as we go round
But cannot relate
They cannot relate
No they cannot relate
They watch as we go round
We cannot escape
