Sleater-Kinney Entertain

So you want to be 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 saw
Truth is truer these days, truth is man-made
If you're here 'cause you want to be entertained
Please go away
Please go away

If your art is done, Johnny get your gun

You come around looking 1984
You're such a bore, 1984
Nostalgia, you're using it like a whore
It's better than before
You come around sounding 1972
You did nothing new with 1972
Where's the smile 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

Hey! Look around they are lying to you
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, oh yeah

Don't wear me down
I'm not running down
Don't wear me down
I'm not running down

1,2,3! If you want to take
A shot at me get in line
1,2,3! I've had all my
Shots and I'm fine

1,2,3! If you haven't had
Enough of me, get in line
1,2,3! You too deserve
It now, it's all right

1,2,3! We can drown in
Mediocrity, it feels sublime
1,2,3! It feels like someone
Pushed rewind

1,2,3! Give it to me easily,
My feeble mind needs time
1,2,3! 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

The grip of fear is already here
The lines are drawn
Whose side are you on?
