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
