It's Only Entertainment |
Richard is important to Richard and |
his most important friends |
He doesn’t take phone calls he sits in his office and pretends |
He’s Atticus Finch, he’s everybody’s mensh |
When It comes to clients he counts |
himself among the very best |
But when it comes to stature he only counts |
the size of other mens desks |
He’s counting every inch, he’s counting every inch |
CHORUS: And It’s only entertainment |
It’s only entertainment |
Don’s make it so hard |
Don’t make it so hard |
Amanda of the underground brings high art |
to her lo-fi sound |
Her nifty hipster friends agree a band’s |
only as good as its scene |
Save us Polly Jean, we know not what we mean |
BRIDGE: |
Freddie’s demographic grows, |
angry boys in baggy clothes |
As critics eulogize the songs, |
and record store clerks mourn along |
And the years go by and the chords don’t change |
We’re all Pat Boone by different names |
Dishes |
She gets off work the other side of evening |
She counts her tips and tells me that she’s leaving |
I scrape the plastic plates and dry the glasses |
My apron is a testament to madness |
Years of washing dishes and she’s gone |
Her boyfriend brags how many ways he’s had her |
The busboys and the lines cooks crack with laughter |
And I pretend I don’t know what they’re saying |
And they pretend our fate is not the same thing |
Years of washing dishes and we’re gone |
