Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

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 phony!"

Entertainer- that's all you'll ever become.

You're no artist - you're a musician.

So entertain us, come on and sing us a song.

Keep the customers 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 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.
