Only Entertainment - Bad Religion



Transfixated on the big blue screen
Your window to the outside
A melancholy dream
A medium upon which you build reality
This episodic currency
That everybody needs

Somebody's delivery lulls you to sleep
The man behind the weather map
The editor in chief
They control the world of power and disease
And you cannot suppress your curiosity
But see it's only entertainment
Superficial urgency
Posterboard mentality
Only entertainment
Tightly constrained
The buzz that remains
Is the story of how we run our lives

Many are the people poor and suffering
From the lack of coverage
From the transmission beam
And if it ever gets here
You'll be offended too
'Cause you cannot distinguish
Chicanery from truth
See it's only entertainment
A superficial episode
As life continues to unfold
Only entertainment
Controlled and copied
They've planted the seed
That sprouts into your picture of the world

Can't someone protect me (turn away, turn away)
From this electron beam (turn away, turn away)
Hey you, Mr.FCC (turn away, turn away)
Have you no advice for me? (turn away, turn away, turn away, turn away)

See it’s only entertainment (turn away, turn away, turn away, turn away)
Only entertainment
Only entertainment
I’m not pushing that sermonry
Leading you to poverty
Only entertainment
Aahhhhaaahahahaaahhaahh
Only entertainment
Only entertainment

Mulder and Scully - Catatonia

I'd rather be liberated, I find myself captivated I'd rather stay bold and lonely, I dream I'm your one and only Stop doing what you Keep doing it to I'd rather be jumping ship, I find myself jumping straight in Forever be dozy and dim, I wake myself thinking of him Stop doing what you Keep doing it to Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry This could be a case for Mulder and Scully Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone My bed is made for two and there's nothing I can do So tell me something I don't know If my head is full of you, is there nothing I can do? Must we all march in two by two by two? And as for some happy ending, I'd rather stay single and thin Stop doing what you Keep doing it to Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry This could be a case for Mulder and Scully Things are getting strange now I can't sleep alone...here

Martius/Nauticus II - Pain of Salvation

[Martius] I'm at the line - I see it all I am Nauticus now And so much more I am all you know I'm at the line - just at the line An eternity at the blink of an eye In this place called time I'm everything Everywhere I am all Omni "BE" [Nauticus II] I feel every mountain I hear every tree I know every ocean I taste every sea (...) I see every spring arrive I see every summer thrive I see every autumn keep I see every winter sleep (...) For I am every forest I am every tree I am everything I am you and me I am every ocean I am every sea I am all the breathing "BE"
