Rise Against - Entertainment lyrics

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 in hotel rooms
They all scream California and
It's toppling empire
But can't you see the end is coming soon?

Come one, come all
The new sensation guarantees then obligations
Spotlights follow every single move
Basking here on ten foot stages
Pouty lips and oh so jaded
All as if we have something to prove



Despite these petty fortunes we still
Can't afford a life
Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms
They all scream California and
It's toppling empire
But can't you see the end is here?

And if we cared at all
About this unknown plight
Then we'd do something more to
Finally make this right

Is this only entertainment? Pull
The curtains, places please
We've 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

We've all made petty fortunes but
We can't afford a life
Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms
They all scream bloody murder
Over graves already dug
But can't you see the end!?
