Your slouch in smoky corners of this town

… Follow you around

You drop jokes like they're dragging you down


You cling onto a vintage way of life

Don't accept that it should be left behind

Pitiful puns like a constant rewind


…

Just pointing out what isn't there


Ah one step forward, two steps back

Punch lines like a heart attack

Your tolerance will never crack

So its one step forward, two steps back


It's odd what people will laugh at sometimes

If they feel that it's rude to draw the line

When they feel that they have to incline


But the underlying hatred stuck inside

…

You drop jokes and we kick them aside


…

Just pointing out what isn't there


Ah one step forward, two steps back

Punch lines like a heart attack

Your tolerance will never crack

So its one step forward, two steps back


…

Just pointing out what isn't there


Ah one step forward, two steps back

Punch lines like a heart attack

Your tolerance will never crack

So its one step forward…


Ah one step forward, two steps back

Punch lines like a heart attack

Your tolerance will never crack

So its one step forward, two steps back
