Janis Joplin - It's Only Entertainment - Текст песни

Richard is important to Richard and 
his most important friends 
He doesn't take phone calls he sits in 
his office and pretends 
He's Atticus Finch, he's everybody's mensh 
When It comes to clients he counts 
himself among the very best 
But when it comes to stature he only counts 
the size of other mens desks 
He's counting every inch, he's counting every inch 

CHORUS: And It's only entertainment 
It's only entertainment 
Don's make it so hard 
Don't make it so hard 

Amanda of the underground brings high art 
to her lo-fi sound 
Her nifty hipster friends agree a band's 
only as good as its scene 
Save us Polly Jean, we know not what we mean 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE: 
Freddie's demographic grows, 
angry boys in baggy clothes 
As critics eulogize the songs, 
and record store clerks mourn along 
And the years go by and the chords don't change 
We're all Pat Boone by different names 

CHORUS 

Dishes 
She gets off work the other side of evening 
She counts her tips and tells me that she's leaving 
I scrape the plastic plates and dry the glasses 
My apron is a testament to madness 
Years of washing dishes and she's gone 

Her boyfriend brags how many ways he's had her 
The busboys and the lines cooks crack with laughter 
And I pretend I don't know what they're saying 
And they pretend our fate is not the same thing 
Years of washing dishes and we're gone
