The Punch Line

The Punch Line

Mighty Mighty Bosstones
(album: A Jackknife To A Swan)

Sometimes, sometimes you´ve got to be the punch line
Well and sometimes, sometimes you get to tell the joke
There´s no difference on the end that you end up on
I´ve got a preference I´ll defend right, right over wrong
I won´t wait till they say when
Or wait for them to tell me when I can
Why would I wait for them
If I waited for them then
I´d be no different than them
And I´m so certain that I am
Someone, someone will try to be the hammer
And someone, somebody ends up as the nail
Who cares what end you end up on
Hammers break and nails bend
I´ll still take right, right over wrong
And that´s what I´ll defend
That´s what I´m defending
I won´t wait till they say when
Or wait for them to tell me when I can
Why would I wait for them
If I waited for them then
I´d be no different than them
And I´m so certain that I am

I won´t wait till they say when
Or wait for them to tell me when I can
Why would I wait for them
If I waited for them then
I´d be no different than them
And I´m so certain that I am
Sometimes you´ve got to be the punch line
Sometimes you get to tell the joke
