Lyrics

Despair up to the point where they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
Can see your desperation to be seen
Staring at the television screen

Despair up to the point where they provoke
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
Sorry sunshine, it doesn't exist
It wasn't in the top 100 list

And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
They told ya, but you were dying for it

She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means

Another variation on a theme
A tangle on the television and the magazine
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath?
That says "we are defenders
Of any poseur or professional pretender around."

When did your list replace the twist and turn?
And the fist, replace the kiss?
Don't concern us with your bollocks, I don't want your prayers
Save it for the morning after

And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
He told ya, that you were gagging for it

Lets have a game on the teddy picker
Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
Already thick and you're getting thicker
Lets have a game on the teddy picker
Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
Already thick and you're getting thicker

Presuming that all things are equal
Who'd want to be men of the people
When there's people like you?
