It`s Only Entertainment — текст песни (Josh Joplin Group)

Richard is important to Richard and
his most important friends
He doesn`t take phone calls he sits in
his office and pretends
He`s Atticus Finch, he`s everybody`s mensh
When It comes to clients he counts
himself among the very best
But when it comes to stature he only counts
the size of other mens desks
He`s counting every inch, he`s counting every inch

CHORUS: And It`s only entertainment
It`s only entertainment
Don`s make it so hard
Don`t make it so hard

Amanda of the underground brings high art
to her lo-fi sound
Her nifty hipster friends agree a band`s
only as good as its scene
Save us Polly Jean, we know not what we mean

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Freddie`s demographic grows,
angry boys in baggy clothes
As critics eulogize the songs,
and record store clerks mourn along
And the years go by and the chords don`t change
We`re all Pat Boone by different names

CHORUS

Dishes
She gets off work the other side of evening
She counts her tips and tells me that she`s leaving
I scrape the plastic plates and dry the glasses
My apron is a testament to madness
Years of washing dishes and she`s gone

Her boyfriend brags how many ways he`s had her
The busboys and the lines cooks crack with laughter
And I pretend I don`t know what they`re saying
And they pretend our fate is not the same thing
Years of washing dishes and we`re gone
