[00:24.38]All we are is entertainment caught up
[00:27.06]in our own derangement
[00:28.87]Tell us what to say and what to do
[00:32.37]
[00:33.87]All we are are pretty faces,
[00:35.99]picture perfect bottled rage
[00:38.55]Packaged, synthesized versions of you
[00:43.16]We've all made petty fortunes
[00:45.10]but we can't afford a life
[00:47.97]Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms
[00:52.59]They all scream California
[00:54.52]and it's toppling empire
[00:57.08]But can't you see the end is coming soon?
[01:02.63]
[01:11.80]Come one, come all,
[01:12.98]the new sensations guarantees then obligations
[01:16.66]Spotlights follow every single move
[01:20.03]
[01:21.66]Basking here on ten foot stages,
[01:23.83]pouty lips and oh so jaded
[01:26.21]All as if we have something to prove
[01:30.95]Despite these petty fortunes
[01:32.76]we still can't afford a life
[01:35.76]Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms
[01:40.43]They all scream California
[01:42.18]and it's toppling empire
[01:44.74]But can't you see the end is near?
[01:49.12]
[02:07.45]And if we cared at all about this unknown plight
[02:12.01]Then we'd do something more
[02:14.38]to finally make this right
[02:18.06]Is this only entertainment?
[02:22.68]Pull the curtains, places please
[02:25.54]We learned to sing and dance and cry on cue
[02:31.28]
[02:33.90]But this is more than entertainment
[02:38.09]in a world so sick with pain
[02:41.82]This is the only thing that's real or true
[02:48.37]We've all made petty fortunes
[02:50.24]but we can't afford a life
[02:52.68]Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms
[02:57.86]They all scream bloody murder
[02:59.85]over graves already dug
[03:02.59]But can't you see the end?
