I've seen it all, every gallery and concert hall
Those long dead faces and melodies I've heard before
And when we reach the end, what's the point behind it all?
Light entertainment, so we forget the place we're in

I've been paying close attention
I've been on the edge of my seat
Waiting for an answer
To the question that is on my mind

I can't enjoy this entertainment
I can't enjoy myself because
I'm concentrating too hard on the question
It was going on

We do our finest work, our surrounding decay
And now I find myself imagining the end
Bricks crumbling, the roof is finally caving in
I knew this day would come but thought I'd be out of here

After all, to start again, you're calling out the shots
And all because, the things we are
We're waiting out the war

I've been paying close attention
I've been on the edge of my seat
Waiting for, yeah, I've been waiting for
I can't enjoy this entertainment
I can't enjoy myself because
I'm concentrating, not questioning

After all, to start again, you're calling out the shots
And all because, the things we are
We're waiting out the war

I've seen it all, every gallery and concert hall
Those long dead faces and melodies I've heard before
And when we reach the end, what's the point behind it all?
Light entertainment so we forget we're here
