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 and hotel rooms They all scream California and its 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 and hotel rooms They all scream California and its 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 and hotel rooms They all scream bloody murder over graves already dug But can′t you see the end
So hot Out the box Can we pick up the pace? Turn it up, Heat it up I need to be entertained Push the limit Are you with it? Baby, don′t be afraid I′ma hurt ′ya real good, baby
Let′s go It′s my show Baby, do what I say Don′t trip off the glitz That I′m gonna display I told ya I′ma hold ya down until you′re amazed Give it to ya ′til you′re screaming my name
No escaping when I start Once I′m in I own your heart There′s no way you′ll ring the alarm So hold on until it′s over
Oh, do you know what you got into? Can you handle what I′m ′bout to do? ′Cause it′s about to get rough for you I′m here for you entertainment
Oh, I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet ′Ya thought an angel swept you off ya feet But I′m about to turn up the heat I′m here for your entertainment
It′s alright You′ll be fine Baby, I′m in control Take the pain Take the pleasure I′m the master of both Close your eyes Not your mind Let me into your soul I′ma work it ′til you′re totally blown
No escaping when I start Once I′m in I own your heart There′s no way you′ll ring the alarm So hold on until it′s over
Oh, do you know what you got into? Can you handle what I′m ′bout to do? ′Cause it′s about to get rough for you I′m here for you entertainment
