Punch Drunk

[Verse 1] Way in overhead Caught off guard by the gutter Everybody's spending this time just building and making Someday someone will say, "For what?" [Verse 2] Nine to five in a blind alley Equals three sheets to the wind Can't remember when this started Don't know where that it ends [Chorus] And there's never a dull day When you're beaten by nonfiction If God still reads the headlines Front page hope is missing [Verse 3] Working away on a rebuilt freeway Straight away from the slash and burn cities Hindsight is there On a road sign pointed nowhere [Verse 4] No one gets off here No way to slow down There's peace of mind somewhere Whenever someone ever thinks about it [Chorus] And there's never a dull day When you're beaten by nonfiction If God still reads the headlines We're all listening [Verse 5] For every drop of sweat that it takes To speak out and wonder Knowing how or when to duck next Just sitting here punch drunk, all the wiser [Instrumental Outro]
