lyrics

Entertainer

you’re no friend of mine, i get a dozen for a dime
does it make you feel better to type out that lie
you’re no pal of mine i’ve seen your sentiment a hundred times
it doesn’t make me feel better to know your state of mind

wait and see you won’t look away
ones and zeroes blowing pictures in your face
feeding in a toxic stream, oh have a little look at me
wait and see a faker meet a faker wimpy little giver make a big strong taker
entertainer please entertain me

you don’t have to cry
this sort of thing happens all the time
doesn’t it make you feel better to eat up that pie
you don’t have to try if you’re not getting rich you’re getting by
nobody reads the letters of those with cause to cry

blinking dumb in the nuclear sun
who’s gonna save us from that lily white glove
entertainer please
take from me
blinking dumb the opposition won
scum on the waves but the game is on
entertainer please
take from me again

you’re no friend of mine
i get a dozen of you at a time
you’ll never eat what’s bitter or swallow that sigh
you’re no pal of mine
you’re just a superego in disguise
i’m looking at you to forget it so entertain me
