I've Got To Be Entertained

Studio Version | Movie Version | Concert Version

Studio Version

I can't decide
If I'm up or down
But this I know
I've got to be entertained

I'm always bored
I just can't sleep
But this I find
I've got to be entertained

I like to play
I like to win
But either way
I've got to be entertained

A walk around a field
Sitting in a chair
The training is real
I've got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained

Chasing not a looser thing, no!
Not as easy as you think, no!
Boys and girls it's all the same
I just want to be entertained
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

I will not be restrained
I've got to be entertained!

The ultimate distraction
Is the essence of my action
I might have be an Einstein
I've got to be entertained

I can't decide
If I'm up or down
But this I know
I've got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-gotta be entertained
I've g-g-g-gotta be entertained
I've g-g-g-gotta be entertained

I'm not lazy
Not one bit, no!
Life is so hard
To forget, no!
*Passion is a ?? part*
Hard to tell just where to start
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

I will not be restrained
I've got to be entertained!

To keep me safe and sane
Just keep me entertained

Oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained

"Long Shot" Movie Version

I can't decide
If I'm up or down
But this I know
I've got to be entertained

We have no hesitation
It's a violent generation
We all agree
We've got to be entertained

I like to play
I like to win
But either way
I've got to be entertained

The ultimate distraction
Is the essence of my action
I might have be an Einstein
I've got to be entertained

I can't decide
If I'm up or down
But this I know
I've got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-gotta be entertained
I've g-g-g-gotta be entertained
I've g-g-g-gotta be entertained

I'm not crazy
Not one bit, no!
Life's so hard
To forget, no!
Action is the simple part
Got to tell them where to start
Not as easy as you think, no!
Boys and girls it's all the same now
I just want to be entertained
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

I will not be restrained
I've got to be entertained!

To keep me safe and sane
Just keep me entertained

Oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa

G-g-g-got to be entertained
G-g-g-got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained


Concert Version

[I have two live versions. This is a rough composite of both. They are pretty bad quality.]

Intro to one of the versions: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the West End.. with Oingo Boingo! Slam all you want, we love it, but don't draw blood, because they just drag them out in the parking lot, and we hate to see people getting dragged off the floor and out the parking lot. We'd rather have you down on the dance floor where you belong. That's from the committee to keep them dancing!

I can't decide
If I'm up or down
But this I know
I've got to be entertained

Always bored
I just can't sleep
I can't get laid
I've got to be entertained

We have no hesitation
It's a violent generation
We all agree
We've got to be entertained

*Wanna cop a feel??/Run around a field??*
*Blazing in a trail??*
*?????*
I've got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained

*????? now/no!*
Not as easy as you think, no!
Boys and girls it's all the same
I just want to be entertained
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

I will not be restrained
I've got to be entertained!

The ultimate distraction
Is the essence of my action
I might have be an Einstein
I've got to be entertained

I can't decide
If I'm up or down
But this I know
I've got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-gotta be entertained
I've g-g-g-gotta be entertained
I've g-g-g-gotta be entertained

I'm not crazy
Not one bit, no!
Life's so hard
To forget, now!
Boys and girls it's all the same now
I just want to be entertained
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

I will not be restrained
I've got to be entertained!

To keep me safe and sane
Just keep me entertained

Oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa

G-g-g-got to be entertained
G-g-g-got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've g-g-g-got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
I've got to be entertained
