Another old one from RB's hall of fame. Inspired by The Jam track of the same name.



That's Entertainment

Watching the news, there's another crisis today
Another health scare, dictators are hiding away
Another 6-pack to be drained to numb my mind
Reality TV at 7? Well, that's fun and fine
That's entertainment... that's entertainment

Hitting the park, football games and brutal fouls
Smoking joints, resting on grass, shooting clouds
Nonsense philosophies, irrelevant, but crucial now
Reminiscing on the jobs that we do so proud
That's entertainment... that's entertainment

Dogs barking, scaring children and car alarms
Insomnia strikes again so hard it harms
Drunken anthems past your window at 3am
Wait til the morning for the world that i'll see again
That's entertainment... that's entertainment

Celebrity scandals, attention held for ransom
Another old man lends a gun to his grandson
Another country of innocents are blown away
Another rehab from heroine and novocaine
That's entertainment... that's entertainment

A scarlet starlet showing flesh in a gossip mag
Your team lost again? Oh man, what a drag
Preachers on pulpits giving weekly enlightenment
The fad diets and the dresses too tight to fit
That's entertainment... that's entertainment

The glare of spotlights and pre-written punchlines
Base speakers, written rhythms and bunched rhymes
Smokes and mirrors, ghost artists and stage shows
A never-ending river, always the same flow
and that's entertainment... that's entertainment


Leave links and I'll rtf.
