light entertainment

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's been on my mind

i can't enjoy this entertainment

i can't enjoy myself because

i'm concentrating too hard on

not questioning what's going on

we do our finest work

in surroundings decay

and now i find myself imagining the end

bricks crumbling

the roof is finally caving in

i knew this day would come

but i thought i'd be out of here

after all

we'll start again

you're calling out

the shot

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

we're not questioning

oh

after all

we'll start again

you're calling out

the shot

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
