Lyrics

So you want to be en-entertained?
Please look away, don't look away
We're not here 'cause we want to entertain
Go away, don't go away
Reality is the new fiction they say
Truth is truer these days, truth is man-made
If you're here 'cause you want to be entertained
Go away, please go away

If your art is done, johnny get your gun
Join the rank and file, on your tv dial

You come around looking 1984
You're such a bore, 1984
Nostalgia, you're using it like a whore
It's better than before, it's better than before
You come around sounding 1972
You did nothing new with 1972
Where's the f*** you? where's the black and blue?
Where's the black and blue? where's the black and blue?

If your art is done, johnny get your gun
Join the rank and file, on your tv dial

Hey! look around they are lying to you
They are lying, they are lying
Can't you see it's just a silly ruse?
They are lying, and I am lying too
All you want is entertainment, rip me open it's free

If your art is done, johnny get your gun
Join the rank and file, on your tv dial

Don't drag me down, I'm not falling down

1,2,3! if you want to take a shot at me get in line
1,2,3! baby, I've had all my shots and I'm fine

1,2,3! if you haven't had enough of me, get in line, line
1,2,3! you too deserve it now, it's all right

In the background: (don't drag me down, I'm not falling down)

1,2,3! we can drown in mediocrity, it feels sublime
1,2,3! it feels like someone pushed rewind

1,2,3! yeah, give it to me easily, my feeble mind needs time
1,2,3! yeah, make it sweet and syrupy with rhyme

Don't drag me down, I'm not falling down
Don't drag me down, I'm not falling down

If your art is done, johnny get your gun
Join the rank and file, on your tv dial
The grip of fear is already here
The lines are drawn, whose side are you on?
