Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All we are is entertainment caught up in our own derangement
Tell us what to say and what to do
All we are pretty faces, picture-perfect, bottled rage
Packaged synthesized versions of you
[Chorus]
We've all made pretty fortunes, but we can't afford a life
Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
They all scream California, and it's toppling empire
But can't you see the end is coming soon, hey
[Verse 2]
Come one, come all, the new sensations
Guarantees then obligations
Spotlights follow every single move
Basking here on ten foot stages
Pouty lips and, oh, so jaded
All as if we have something to prove
[Chorus]
Despite these petty fortunes, we still can't afford a life
Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
They all scream California, and it's toppling empire
But can't you see the end is here?
[Bridge]
And if we cared at all about this unknown plight
Then we'd do something more to finally make this right
[Bridge]
Is this only entertainment
Pull the curtains, places, please
We learned to sing and dance and cry on cue
But this is more than entertainment in a world so sick with pain
This is the only thing that's real or true
[Outro]
We've all made pretty fortunes, but we can't afford a life
Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
They all scream bloody murder over graves already dug
But can't you see the end
