Richard is important to Richard and    his most important friends    He doesn't take phone calls he sits in    his office and pretends    He's Atticus Finch, he's everybody's mensh    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 mens desks    He's counting every inch, he's counting every inch       CHORUS: And It's only entertainment    It's only entertainment    Don's make it so hard    Don't make it so hard       Amanda of the underground brings high art    to her lo-fi sound    Her nifty hipster friends agree a band's    only as good as its scene    Save us Polly Jean, we know not what we mean       CHORUS       BRIDGE:    Freddie's demographic grows,    angry boys in baggy clothes    As critics eulogize the songs,    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       Dishes    She gets off work the other side of evening    She counts her tips and tells me that she's leaving    I scrape the plastic plates and dry the glasses    My apron is a testament to madness    Years of washing dishes and she's gone       Her boyfriend brags how many ways he's had her    The busboys and the lines cooks crack with laughter    And I pretend I don't know what they're saying    And they pretend our fate is not the same thing    Years of washing dishes and we're gone
