Within Temptation - Entertain You lyrics
"There’s always a group of people in society that doesn’t fit in and somehow we always have a need to emphasize that they do not fit in by singling them out, cornering them in all sorts of ways - think of viral videos, fights on the streets et cetera", Sharon den Adel says.
[Within Temptation - Entertain You lyrics]
Don't be mistaken, your bloody time's up
This ain't no game, we're not here to entertain you
Don't be mistaken, your bloody time's up
This ain't no game, we're not here to entertain you
Get your fix sitting on your throne
Want it all and the price, it doesn't matter
The world is yours, and you think
You know, know it all
I know that smile, so I should've known
You sold me out for a reckless bet, you burnt me
Of the ground, now won't back down anymore
No, you didn't have to burn me
You think you own me
But I wouldn't be so sure
You've won the battle
But you're gonna lose a war
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you
Just walk away or face the showdown
I won't bow, I don't care about the bleeding
'Cause my freedom's undefeated
My soul on fire, burning desire
Make no mistake 'cause the stakes are getting higher
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you
I'm not here to entertain you
Don't be mistaken
Your bloody time's up
This ain't no game
We're not here to entertain you
You pull your face like you didn't know
Like you cared and we'd buy your sorry story
Who's the fool?
Now you're out of stones
Yeah, you know
Blame the sea, blame the moon for all
Don't you see? We're the ones with the redemption
Yeah, the time keeps turning round, turning round
Now the time is gone, you're going down
You think you own me
But I wouldn't be so sure
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you
Just walk away or face the showdown
I won't bow, I don't care about the bleeding
'Cause my freedom's undefeated
My soul on fire, burning desire
Make no mistake 'cause the stakes are getting higher
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you
I'm not here to entertain you
Yeah, in your mind, you deny all the suffering
You've taken sides 'cause you lost, it ain't your fight now
And you don't care anymore 'cause you lost the crown now
We're not here to entertain you
No, we're not here to entertain you
Don't be mistaken
Your bloody time's up
This ain't no game
We're not here to entertain you
This ain't no game, we're not here to entertain you
Don't be mistaken, your bloody time's up
This ain't no game, we're not here to entertain you
Get your fix sitting on your throne
Want it all and the price, it doesn't matter
The world is yours, and you think
You know, know it all
I know that smile, so I should've known
You sold me out for a reckless bet, you burnt me
Of the ground, now won't back down anymore
No, you didn't have to burn me
You think you own me
But I wouldn't be so sure
You've won the battle
But you're gonna lose a war
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you
Just walk away or face the showdown
I won't bow, I don't care about the bleeding
'Cause my freedom's undefeated
My soul on fire, burning desire
Make no mistake 'cause the stakes are getting higher
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you
I'm not here to entertain you
Don't be mistaken
Your bloody time's up
This ain't no game
We're not here to entertain you
You pull your face like you didn't know
Like you cared and we'd buy your sorry story
Who's the fool?
Now you're out of stones
Yeah, you know
Blame the sea, blame the moon for all
Don't you see? We're the ones with the redemption
Yeah, the time keeps turning round, turning round
Now the time is gone, you're going down
You think you own me
But I wouldn't be so sure
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you
Just walk away or face the showdown
I won't bow, I don't care about the bleeding
'Cause my freedom's undefeated
My soul on fire, burning desire
Make no mistake 'cause the stakes are getting higher
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you
I'm not here to entertain you
Yeah, in your mind, you deny all the suffering
You've taken sides 'cause you lost, it ain't your fight now
And you don't care anymore 'cause you lost the crown now
We're not here to entertain you
No, we're not here to entertain you
Don't be mistaken
Your bloody time's up
This ain't no game
We're not here to entertain you
About the song Within Temptation - Entertain You
Sharon: "These people didn’t ask to be different, they simply are just different. The beauty is that by being different, these people bring so much color to our society, since our society is so uniform! These people are not here for our entertainment, so we can feel good about ourselves. If you don’t realize that, it’s maybe time for bit more self reflection and wonder why you are participating in such behaviour".
