The Entertainer Lyrics
(Huh.)
So you want to make it, friend?
Some advice to you I'll lend.
Don't believe them when they tell you
Trust me, trust me
(Trust me, trust me) I'll take care of everything
(Why don't you sign) Oooh sign your name
(Don't complain) It might cause a (Pain)
Fall in line and you'll go far
By next year you'll be a star
Don't forget we made you what
you are-
Cross the line,
where everything is fine
Live all our fantasies
Although there's just one catch-
There is no turning back,
Who cares, Let's march ahead.
Don't try and look behind
Don't have to look to find
We're hanging by a thread-
Can't stop until we're dead
Oh look, there's contracts and papers to sign
Lawyers are standing in line
Ex-ec-u-tives out there
State-ments are all pre-pared
Accountants keeping their time
Pictures in the magazines
Agents can handle the scenes
The critics turn their wheels
Promoters and their deals
So patronizing, but-
see how they sat
With their hatchets in their hands
Smiling,
waiting for their chance to strike!
[guitar solo]
Don't mess with me, don't mess with me
I've been around, I know your type
It's me you want, I've heard your hype
Watch what you say, it's not okay

It's me you want, I'll sign my name
We'll play the game
But don't pretend, that you're my friend
Don't shake my hand
I've paid my dues, I've paid my dues
Stand in my path, tread on my toes
I'll cut your throat, I'll cut your throat
I'll take your life, I'll screw your wife
That's what I'll do, it's me or you
Don't mess with me, don't mess with me
I'm not like you, I've got my pride
Don't try and take, me for a ride
I've come from here, it's me you fear
Now we're acquainted, you need not pretend
Just make sure you mean it if you call me, friend
Ahhh ahhh
Ahhh ahhh
Me or you
Don't mess with me, don't mess with me
I've been around, I've paid my dues
It's me or you
Ooooh ooh ooh
Ooooh oooh
Ahhh
Ahhh
Ahhh
Sacred or profane?
Be prepared to lose more than you'll gain.
