Lyrics

Richard is important to Richard and his most important friends
He never takes phone calls, he sits in his office and pretends
He’s Atticus Finch, he’s everybody’s mensch

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 men’s desks
He counting every inch, he’s counting every inch

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

Amanda of the underground makes high art of her low-fi sound machine
Her nifty hipster friends agree a band is only as cool as its scene
Save us Polly Jean, we know not what we mean

CHORUS

Johnny’s demographic grows angry boys in baggy clothes
Critics eulogize the song 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

You take it so hard (It’s only entertainment)
We take it so hard (It’s only entertainment)
