The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Punch Line Lyrics

Sometimes, sometimes you've got to be the punch line
And sometimes, sometimes you get to tell the joke
There's no difference on the end 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 then 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
