Only Entertainment
Transfixated on the big blue screen
Your window to the outside, a melancholy dream
A medium upon which you build reality
It's episodic currency that everybody needs
Somebody's delivery lulls you to sleep
The man behind the weather map, the editor in chief
They control the world of power and disease
And you cannot suppress your curiosity
See, it's only entertainment
Superficial urgency
Poster board mentality
Only entertainment
Tightly constrained
The buzz that remains
It's the story of how we run our lives
(Hey!) Many are the people poor and suffering
From the lack of coverage from the transmission beam
And if it ever gets here, you'll be offended, too
'Cause you cannot distinguish chicanery from truth
See, it's only entertainment
A superficial episode as life continues to unfold
Only entertainment
Controlled and copied
They've planted the seed
That sprouts into your picture of the world
Can't someone protect me?
(Turn away, turn away)
From this electron beam
(Turn away, turn away)
Hey you, Mr. FCC
(Turn away, turn away)
Have you no advice for me?
(Turn away, turn away)
(Turn away, turn away)
See, it's only entertainment (turn away, turn away, turn away, turn away)
Only entertainment
Only entertainment
Unofficial facsimile
Leading you to poverty
Only entertainment
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Only entertainment
Only entertainment
Your window to the outside, a melancholy dream
A medium upon which you build reality
It's episodic currency that everybody needs
Somebody's delivery lulls you to sleep
The man behind the weather map, the editor in chief
They control the world of power and disease
And you cannot suppress your curiosity
See, it's only entertainment
Superficial urgency
Poster board mentality
Only entertainment
Tightly constrained
The buzz that remains
It's the story of how we run our lives
(Hey!) Many are the people poor and suffering
From the lack of coverage from the transmission beam
And if it ever gets here, you'll be offended, too
'Cause you cannot distinguish chicanery from truth
See, it's only entertainment
A superficial episode as life continues to unfold
Only entertainment
Controlled and copied
They've planted the seed
That sprouts into your picture of the world
Can't someone protect me?
(Turn away, turn away)
From this electron beam
(Turn away, turn away)
Hey you, Mr. FCC
(Turn away, turn away)
Have you no advice for me?
(Turn away, turn away)
(Turn away, turn away)
See, it's only entertainment (turn away, turn away, turn away, turn away)
Only entertainment
Only entertainment
Unofficial facsimile
Leading you to poverty
Only entertainment
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Only entertainment
Only entertainment
