Lyrics

Trying to please All these people around me Is trying to reach for the moon (The Moon) I see their faces looking so empty saying I hope that they'll finish soon (So Soon) Could be a chat show (Yap Yap Yap) Could be a go go Reaction would be the same (The Same) So here I go Though why I don't know Trying to prove myself again Entertain me I'm as blank as can be And I've seen it before And I've done it before And I think that I like it But no I don't like it It just goes on over and over And over and over and over again I try to give them all of my best And it's taking a turn for the worst (Oh No) Things going wrong Start to sing the wrong song I think that we must be cursed (You Betcha) Playing the wrong tune Hitting the wrong note This is where my nerves become frayed It's falling apart Why did we ever start And do you think we'll be paid (No No) Entertain me I'm as blank as can be And I've seen it before And I've done it before And I think that I like it But no I don't like it It just goes on over and over And over and over and over again Over and over again Build 'em up, knock 'em down (x5) I see a movement Down in the front row Maybe it's just a mistake She's smiling at me (Hello) But he's frowning at me (Goodbye) Which conclusion Do I make Fold all your arms And look straight ahead At this puppet on a string You're feeling confused But you've made a decision You don't like anything Entertain me I'm as blank as can be And I've seen it before And I've done it before And I think that I like it But no I don't like it It just goes on over and over And over and over and over again Build 'em up, knock em down (x4) Entertain me I'm as blank as can be And I've seen it before And I've done it before And I think that I like it But no I don't like it It just goes on over and over And over and over and over again
