Lyrics

[Verse 1] So, you want to be entertained? Please look away, don't look away We're not here cause we want to entertain Go away, don't go away [Verse 2] Reality is the new fiction, they say Truth is truer these days, truth is man-made If you're here cause you want to be entertained Go away, please go away [Chorus] (Woah, oh, oh) If your art is done (Woah, oh, oh) Johnny get your gun (Woah, oh, oh) Join the rank and file (Woah, oh, oh) On your TV dial [Verse 3] You come around looking nineteen eighty-four You're such a bore, nineteen eighty- four Nostalgia, you're using it like a whore It's better than before It's better than before [Verse 4] You come around sounding 1972 You did nothing new with 1972 Where's the "fuck you"? Where's the black and blue? Where's the black and blue? Where's the black and blue? [Chorus] (Woah, oh, oh) If your art is done (Woah, oh, oh) Johnny get your gun (Woah, oh, oh) Join the rank and file (Woah, oh, oh) On your TV dial [Verse 5] Hey! Look around, they are lying to you They are lying, they are lying, and Can't you see it is just a silly ruse? They are lying, and I am lying too All you want is entertainment Rip me open, it's freeing, yeah [Chorus] (Woah, oh, oh) If your art is done (Woah, oh, oh) Johnny get your gun (Woah, oh, oh) Join the rank and file (Woah, oh, oh) On your TV dial [Post-Chorus] Don't drag me down I'm not falling down Don't drag me down I'm not falling down [Bridge] One, two, three! If you want to take a shot at me, well, get in line, in line One, two, three! Baby, I've had all my shots and I'm fine One, two, three! If you haven't had enough of me, well, get in line, in line One, two, three! Yeah, you deserve it now, it's alright One, two, three! (Don't drag me down) We can drown in mediocrity, it feels sublime (I'm not falling down) One, two, three! (Don't drag me down) It feels like someone pushed the rewind (I'm not falling down) One, two, three! (Don't drag me down) Give it to me easily, my feeble mind needs time (I'm not falling down) One, two, three! (Don't drag me down) Make it sweet and syrupy with rhyme (I'm not falling down) [Pre-Chorus] Don't drag me down I'm not falling down Don't drag me down I'm not falling down [Chorus] (Woah, oh, oh) If your art is done (Woah, oh, oh) Johnny get your gun (Woah, oh, oh) Join the rank and file (Woah, oh, oh) On your TV dial [Outro] (Woah, oh, oh) The grip of fear (Woah, oh, oh) Is already here (Woah, oh, oh) The lines are drawn (Woah, oh, oh) Whose side are you on?
