The Entertainer

So I perform Put on a crazy character that no one can ignore And And in truth I would go to any lengths if it meant I'd be liked by you There's nothing left inside but thankfully you made it Soon these bitter years will take their toll No matter where I go It's just another show They call me the entertainer They call me the entertainer From the cradle to the grave It's attention that I crave They call me the entertainer They call me the entertainer A deep Empty well Nothing could fill up this hole but sometimes things like this do help With Out a doubt I would trade it all if it meant I could run my stupid mouth With every eye on you, yes this is what you wanted But will that really fix your broken soul? No matter where I go It's just another show They call me the entertainer They call me the entertainer From the cradle to the grave It's attention that I crave They call me the entertainer They call me the entertainer Set upon by wolves Waiting at the gate No, they're never hungry They just really love to eat People only listen When you make them gasp But if they really knew what's in your head you'd never last Are you sick of being walked on? Dying to be seen You need crowds of people screaming Calling out your name Make 'em laugh Make 'em cry Paint your face and tell a lie What kind of person plays this game You're demented, you're insane Take what you deserve Born to entertain Knowing they would eat you if you show one ounce of pain Knowing they would eat you if you show one ounce of pain And every day we're getting closer to exploding like a bomb And when it blows up it'll break the world you know it won't be long Can't stop this, it's far too Late I run my mouth, I fake a smile, offset the panic one more day I am thoroughly entertained Just pick a sound and stick with it Magazine says I'm like a cult leader As if that's what I'm trying to be And they act like I do it on purpose Like it's not the worst part of me For my mind is a scream and a whisper Of a song only heard in a dream Yes, when I lay me down And there's no one around All I hear is this same melody No matter where I go It's just another show They call me the entertainer They call me the entertainer From the cradle to the grave It's attention that I crave They call me the entertainer They call me the entertainer
