Ray Davies - Entertainment lyrics

There's been another a**a**ination T.V. 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? Yes, the networks are all there, in the name of Entertainment Superstar psycho, from a k**er 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 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 Cheapens my reality So that Hollywood can make it into another "B" movie The vultures get the rating 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 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? Entertainment, Entertainment
