Lyrics

BREAD AND GAMES (J. Hoffmann/P. Fridhill)

Lazily following the news
Swallowing the dread, but we’re all amused
It’s like the circus’s come to town
We’re caught up in the landslide of human nature

Everyone’s surprisingly tame
as long as they are
Fat, fed and entertained
Bread and games to sweeten the pain
gimme sugar, baby
Fat, fed and entertained

He only sees what he wants to believe
He doesn’t wanna know, only disagree
He just found some belief to hang on to
Caught up in the landslide of human nature

Everyone’s surprisingly tame
as long as they are
Fat, fed and entertained
Bread and games to sweeten the pain
gimme sugar, baby
Fat, fed and entertained

It's not the end of the world at all
It's only the end for us
The world will go on just the same,
only we shan't be in it.

Everyone’s depressingly lame
As long as we are fat, fed and entertained
Bread and games to sweeten the pain
Gimme sugar baby, oh, gimme sugar
The world may be about to end
We’re living on the edge but we still pretend
Bread and games to sweeten the pain
gimme sugar, baby - fat fed and entertained
