"Entertainment Lies" lyrics

"Entertainment Lies"

A callous cinema
Erotic idiom

I am a witness
Video violence
Evading chastity
Scared

Straining for the face they'll seek
On the camera

Another dream gone
A parent's heart attack
I know it's all wrong
Coerce into violation
Brainwash into adoration

I think she felt a void
Spiritual vacuum
I hate what's out there
Tears

Another dream gone
Her parents' heart attack
I know it's all wrong
Coerce into violation
Brainwash into adoration

Now someone's seal is broken
Selling off their love
Someone's pride is taken
Selling service, selling service

Pictures just do half the justice
Telling of the crime
Lewd director taking his sweet time

Talent buyers violate
Damnit they all get away
Moral anguish nauseates

Another one (trapped again)
It's so calculated
Demonstrate entitled behavior
In the culture, in the culture

So many dreams gone
A family heart attack
I know it's all wrong
Coerce into violation
Brainwash into adoration

Demeaning exploitation captured onto tape
We must expose the secret molestation
Entertainment lies
Lies
Red light, red light, red light!
