Josh Joplin Group - It's Only Entertainment Lyrics
Richard is important to Richard andhis most important friendsHe doesn't take phone calls he sits inhis office and pretendsHe's Atticus Finch, he's everybody's menshWhen It comes to clients he countshimself among the very bestBut when it comes to stature he only countsthe size of other mens desksHe's counting every inch, he's counting every inchCHORUS: And It's only entertainmentIt's only entertainmentDon's make it so hardDon't make it so hardAmanda of the underground brings high artto her lo-fi soundHer nifty hipster friends agree a band'sonly as good as its sceneSave us Polly Jean, we know not what we meanCHORUSBRIDGE:Freddie's demographic grows,angry boys in baggy clothesAs critics eulogize the songs,and record store clerks mourn alongAnd the years go by and the chords don't changeWe're all Pat Boone by different namesCHORUSDishesShe gets off work the other side of eveningShe counts her tips and tells me that she's leavingI scrape the plastic plates and dry the glassesMy apron is a testament to madnessYears of washing dishes and she's goneHer boyfriend brags how many ways he's had herThe busboys and the lines cooks crack with laughterAnd I pretend I don't know what they're sayingAnd they pretend our fate is not the same thingYears of washing dishes and we're gone
