Entertainment Songtext

von Rise Against

All we are is entertainment
Caught up in our own derangement
Tell us what to say and what to do
All we are are pretty faces
Picture perfect bottled rage
Packaged synthesized versions of you

We've all made petty fortunes but we can't
Afford a life
Confined to pull-out quotes
And hotel rooms
They all scream California
And its toppling empire
But can't you see the end
Is coming soon

All we are is entertainment
Guarantees then obligations
Spotlights follow every single move
Basking here on ten foot stages
Pouty lips and oh so jade

We've all made petty fortunes but we can't
Afford a life
Confined to pull-out quotes
And hotel rooms
They all scream California
And its toppling empire
But can't you see the end?

And if we cared at all
About this unknown plight
Than we'd do something more to finally
Make this right

All we are is entertainment
Pull the curtains, places please
We learned to sing and dance and cry on cue
But this is more than entertainment
In a world so sick with pain
This is the only thing that's real or true

Despite this petty fortunes
We still can't afford a life
Confined to pull-out quotes and hotel rooms
They all scream bloody-murder over graves
Already dug
But can't you see the end...
