Entertain

so you want to be entertained?
please look away (don't look away)
we're not here 'cause we want to entertain
go away (don't go away)
reality is the new fiction they say
truth is truer these days, truth is man-made
if you're here 'cause you want to be entertained
go away, please go away

if your art is done, johnny get your gun
join the rank and file, on your TV dial

you come around looking 1984
you're such a bore, 1984
nostalgia, well you're using it like a whore
it's better than before, oh it's better than before
you come around sounding 1972
you did nothing new, 1972
where's the "F**k You"?
where's the black and blue? (3x)

don't drag me down, I'm not fallin' down (2x)

1, 2, 3!

if you haven't had enough of me
well get in line, line
1, 2, 3!

1, 2, 3!
we can drown in mediocrity
it feels sublime, sublime
1, 2, 3!
yeah it sounds like someone
pushed the rewind
(Dont drag me down, I'm not falling down (2x))

1, 2, 3!
now, give it to me easily
my feeble mind needs time
1, 2, 3!
yeah, you make it sweet
and syrupy with rhyme
(Dont drag me down, I'm not falling down (2x))

Dont drag me down, I'm not falling down (2x)

the grip of fear
is already here
the lines are drawn
whose side are you on?
