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)
