I'm no longer preaching to the converted That congregation has long ago deserted All we discovered was even more despair But we learned how to cope we learned how not to care
And the sun will still keep rising Always deflecting always disguising Was there ever another place Did we ever really exist
All we make is entertainment A sad indictment of what we are good at We're all part of the grand delusion
We made so much we let it all crumble To safeguard our rights to make us more "human" Oh this country is but an empty shell A clearing house for heaven a clearing house for hell
And the sun will still keep rising Always deflecting always disguising Was there ever another place Did we ever really exist
All we make is entertainment It's so damn easy and inescapable We're so post-modern and so post-everything
All we make is entertainment An end to hope and civilisation A simple way to seek perfection
The insides of our nation have been exposed It only confirms what we already know Pointless jobs just lead to pointless lives It's breaking up our bones it's breaking up our minds
