Submitted by: Patrick O'Connell


I'm not an artist
I'm an asshole without a job
Making money off alcohol
Making money off calling myself out
"Look at me! A fraud, a phoney!"
Entertainer-
That's all you'll ever become
You're no artist - you're a muscian
So entertain us
Come and sing us a song
Keep the customer drunk

I'm not a writer
I'm a kid with a guitar
And a notebook of scattered thoughts
Hum a tune, strum the blues
Write some cryptic words
Whatever works to get you to the next verse
Entertainer-
And once the curtains are drawn
You're a screaming contradiction
So entertain us
Come on, sing us a song
THe customer's never wrong

I'm not a singer
I'm the one with the microphone
I've been making shit up as I go
I'm not a singer -
THey handed me a microphone
Said, "Play along! THe show's gotta go on!"
And the show must go on
"Entertain us! Entertain us!"
Give the customers what they want
Entertainer
You're so down in the mouth
But sales are up this month
