Sometimes, sometimes you've got to be the punch line

Well and sometimes, sometimes you get to tell the joke

There's no difference on the end that 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 than 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



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 than them

And I'm so certain that I am (chorus x2)



Sometimes you've got to be the punch line

Sometimes you get to tell the joke
