Lyrics
They've sped up to the point where they provoke The punchline before they have told the joke Plenty of desperation to be seen Starin' at the television screen They've sped up to the point where they provoke You to tell the fuckin' punchline before you have told the joke Well sorry, sunshine, it doesn't exist It wasn't in the Top 100 list And it's the thousandth time that it's even bolder Don't be surprised when you get bent over They told you, but you were dyin' for it She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed The kids all dream of makin' 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 that "We are defenders of any poser Or professional pretender around" And when did your list replace the twist and turn Like a fist replaced a kiss? Don't concern us with your bollocks I don't want your prayer Save it for the mornin' after And it's the thousandth time that it's even bolder Don't be surprised when you get bent over They told you, but you were gaggin' for it Let's have a game on the teddy picker Not quick enough, can I have it quicker? Already thick and you're gettin' thicker Let's have a game on the teddy picker Not quick enough, can I have it quicker? Already thick and you're gettin' thicker Presumin' that all things are equal Who'd want to be men of the people When there's people like you?
