Entertainment

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?
Yeah, 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)
(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
Cheapen my reality
So that Hollywood can make it
Into another 'B' movie

The vultures get the ratings
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
(Entertainment, entertainment)
(Entertainment, entertainment)

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?
