The Kinks - Entertainment lyrics

[The Kinks - Entertainment lyrics]

There's been another assassination
TV cameras moving in
To shoot the bloodstains on the pavement
And get them on the News at Ten
Will he live or will he die
Before we go on the air?
Yes, the networks are all there
In the name of entertainment

Superstar psycho, from a killer to a hero
An overnight sensation on the lips
Of all the nation is he mad or is he sane?
It makes for good conversation
I call it suffering and pain
But they call it entertainment

Sex violence murder and rape
(Entertainment Entertainment)
That's what you came for
That's what you pay for



Entertainment, Entertainment

They call it Entertainment
Inform us, educate us with your media machine
(Call it Entertainment)
Tell me what to dream
(Call it Entertainment)
You pay your money, what do you get?
Entertainment

Real life for Entertainment
Cheapens my reality
So that Hollywood can make it
Into another "B" movie
The vultures get the rating and
The people get the thrills
But the victims always pay
I guess they always will

Sex violence murder and rape
(Entertainment Entertainment)
That's what you want, that's what they need
That's what you came for
That's what your paying for

They call it Entertainment
(Call it Entertainment)
Inform us, educate us with your media machine
(Call it Entertainment)
Tell me what to dream
(Call it Entertainment)
You pay your money, what do you get?

Entertainment, Entertainment
