Oingo Boingo — The Entertainer

(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.
