The Automatic - Light Entertainment lyrics

rate me

I've seen it all, every gallery and concert hall

Those long dead faces and melodies I've heard before

And when we reach the end, what's the point behind it all?

Light entertainment so we forget the place we're in

I've been paying close attention

I've been on the edge of my seat

Waiting for an answer to the question that is on my mind

I can't enjoy this entertainment

I can't enjoy myself because

I'm concentrating too hard on the question

It was going on

We do our finest work

Our surrounding decay

And now I find myself imagining the end

Bricks crumbling

The roof is finally caving in

I knew this day would come but thought I'd be out of here

After all, to start again, you're calling out the shots

And all because, the things we are, we're waiting out the war

I've been paying close attention

I've been on the edge of my seat

Waiting for, yeah I've been waiting for

I can't enjoy this entertainment

I can't enjoy myself because

I'm concentrating, not questioning

After all, to start again, you're calling out the shots

And all because, the things we are, we're waiting out the war

I've seen it all, every gallery and concert hall

Those long dead faces and melodies I've heard before

And when we reach the end, what's the point behind it all?

Light entertainment so we forget we're here
