"Entertainment Value" lyrics

"Entertainment Value"

Look at the people
Look at them running uh-huh
Where are they going?
Where are they coming from?
It is a pity, that in the city
Even a pretty girl has to hide her face

Don't try to breathe in
With too much feeling uh-huh
Do and you're reeling
All over the place mm-hmm
Mothers who send their children out for fresh air
Wish they could wash lungs
Like they wash clothes and hair

Get on the bus, get on the train
Read your paper, read about pain
The entertainment value in a plane crash
Is something we should find out about

Look at the people
Look at ourselves mm-hmm
We are the people
Making the mess and the smells
What will our children think about what we leave them?
They're telling us now
And we won't believe them

Get on the bus, get on the train
Read your paper, read about pain
The entertainment value in a plane crash
Is something we should find out about
The entertainment value in a plane crash
Is something we should find out about
The entertainment value in a plane crash
Is something we should find out about

Look at the people
Look at them running uh-huh
Where are they going?
Where are they coming from?
