They've sped up to the point where they provoke The punch-line before they have told the joke
Plenty of desperation to be seen Staring at the television screen
They've sped up to the point where they provoke you
To tell the fucking punch-line 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 that it's even bolder
Don't be surprised when you get bent over They told you, but you were dying for it
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
Do you reckon that they do it for a joke Do you reckon that they make 'em take an oath
That says that we are defenders Of any poser or professional pretender around
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 morning after
( * )
Let's 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 n Who'd want to be men of the people
When there's people like you
