Entertainment Paradox
Have you ever found yourself,
wanting something you know you shouldn't want?
Like... sometimes I feel like Sméagol, like just...
Aaaahhhhhch...
I wonder when we watch a movie why we be trippin the villain
The mean spirited criminal doin all the killin
Who was causally sabatoging the family, "[the one that?]"promised that
"[he would get up in?]"the children
You know it's true, why do we root for the bad guy?
We only really do it in a fictional film
Cause we don't like in real life we
despise who take lives, but in a fictional realm?
I guess we make an exception
Maybe the direct present disception
Show the bad guy from a different perspective
Then "[got it all warped?]" and call it into question
All good morals and all good ethics
And when the movie done, it all will exit
There's a paradox to all that's left with
"[Ikeyego?]" Shakespeare's on mellow
(mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow)
See, there's something about entertainment
that, that's makes you set aside your world view
And you root for the bad guy even if it
goes against your morals or your ethics
It's crazy right?
I heard about a movie where a rummer was really in love
Head over heels love, "[like hittin a [?]?]"
She was only twenty four,
he was only twenty five when a guy caught her eye, they met in a club
Taking things real slow, still somber
Good girl, good head on her shoulder
Plus the dude really cared and was really
there for, can't ingnore that it really did adore
He came over
Took a "[?]"
She was feelin depressed, needed a shoulder
Now he tryin to meet her needs but he weaken in the
knees cause she beggin him to please come and hold her
Now they huggin underneath and kissin
Pause...
Now your in a weird position
I know it's just a movie, but what are you wishin?
Do you feel conflicted?
Do you feel conviction?
See sometimes you catch yourself in the moment
Cheering for immorality
Wanting the guy and the girl to hook up
even though it goes against Christian principles
All I'm sayin is... guard your heart
wanting something you know you shouldn't want?
Like... sometimes I feel like Sméagol, like just...
