30 FOOT FALL - Entertainment Vs. Enlightenment lyrics

rate me

I know you want me to entertain<br>

don't want me to be lame don't wanna hear me say<br>

stuff that might sober you up<br>

and make you give a fuck <br>

too bad, you're out of luck! <br>

because I'm not that funny of a guy, and besides<br>

I've got too many questions in my mind <br>

like why do I so often resent the world I'm living in? <br>

and am I boring you yet with the same old shit again? <br>

did you know that change is within reach? <br>

and it starts with ourselves.<br>

the stuff we learn and the stuff we teach!<br>

the willingness to be honest with ourselves<br>

and everybody else is the first step to cooling this hell<br>

and did you know that music is a very powerful thing?<br>

and lyrics can be more than just mindless singing?<br>

and maybe you can't change the world, but you can change yourself<br>

and the music should be fun, but sometimes there's something else... <br>

entertainment vs. enlightenment <br>

you learn the words to every single verse<br>

entertainment vs. enlightenment <br>

but it still doesn't make a dent <br>

entertainment vs. enlightenment <br>

somebody took the time to write these lines<br>

entertainment vs. enlightenment <br>

so think about what they meant yeah, <br>

and did you know that music is a very powerful thing? <br>

and it's a lot more fun than sitting around whacking (I don't know about that) <br>

and maybe you can't change the world, but you can change yourself<br>

and music should be fun, but sometimes there's something else... <br>

the things you call important are making me see red <br>

the patches that you wear and the spikes on your head are nothing but a fashion show <br>

and you judge everyone on a sliding scale of "punk" like you were the first one <br>

you say music with a message is a fucking bore? <br>

I guess it takes away from the punk points you score <br>

but you hate it cause it makes you think I think you hate it cause it makes you think.<br>
