Following on from “Turning Out pt. ii”, “The Entertainment’s Here” presents itself as a distraction from the heartbreak of the previous song, complete with fun-fair imagery and school bell sound effects during the chorus.
[Chorus: Jack Met]
But oh my, oh my God
The entertainment's here
Everything is suddenly amazing here
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
[Verse 1: Jack Met]
I used to be distracted by my favorite song
I loved it very much, I made the song my alarm
And now I kind of hate hearing it every morn
Don’t wake up anymore, I don't wanna be bored
I used to be distracted, rolling 'round in the dirt
But recently, I’m thinking 'bout my purpose on Earth
But I don't wanna think about my purpose no more
Because it may come up short
Man, I hate being bored
[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
I've been thinking
That too much thinking
Can start me sinking down
[Chorus: Jack Met]
But oh my, oh my God
The entertainment's here
Everything is suddenly amazing here
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Don't make plans
'Cause oh my, oh my God
The entertainment's here
You don’t even gotta use your brain from here
Just sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Come on, then
[Post-Chorus]
The entertainment’s here
The entertainment's here
[Verse 2: Jack Met]
I used to be distracted by my burgers and shakes
I’m running out of things that I can do with my day
'Cause I can only eat so many times in a day
Until I'm bored again and I'm stuck in my brain
You wonder what they did before inventing the phone
Yeah, how could anybody face the quiet alone?
I’d rather be in Vegas than my very own home
Yeah, my cash'll be gone, but my mind'll be blown
[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
I've been thinking
That too much thinking
Can start me sinking down
[Chorus: Jack Met]
But oh my, oh my God
The entertainment's here
Everything is suddenly amazing here
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Don't make plans
'Cause oh my, oh my God
The entertainment's here
You don't even gotta use your brain from here
Just sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Come on, then
[Post-Chorus]
The entertainment's here
The entertainment's here
The entertainment's here
The entertainment's here
Yep, yep, yep, yep
The entertainment's here
Yep, yep, yep, yep

We were up on our tour bus at like four AM writing this thing. We just had “Oh my, oh my God” and I think the clock hit 4:01 and suddenly the inspiration hit, and we wrote literally the entire song in ten minutes. We got really inspired by this Kanye Song, the snare and the kicks specifically… we ju...
