The Punchline Song Lyrics by Machine Go Boom

Thank You Captain Obvious

2003

[Verse 1]
Have you heard the news?
We ain't got shit to lose anymore
Don't you read the papers?
Or do you just throw them in the fireplace to keep you warm?
Hey hey, hey hey
Have you seen the latest?
And does it suck as bad as I think?
We could sit around debatin' for hours
Or just sit in front the fireplace and finish our drinks
Hey hey, hey hey
[Chorus]
Because the more you think about it
The less you wanna think at all
Because the more you talk about it
The quicker the punchline calls out your name
[Verse 2]
Polaroids and body bags
And random things to hide
I could rummage through your closet all day
Or I could polish off the whiskey and spit in your eye
Hey hey, hey hey
[Bridge]
So families of the victims make
Your teary eyes so commonplace
Did you pass the historical questionnaire?
Did you find yourself trying so hard to care?
[Chorus]
'Cause the more you think about it
The less you wanna think at all
Because the more you talk about it
The quicker the ace card falls
'Cause the more you think about it
The less you wanna think at all
'Cause the more you talk about it
The quicker the punchline calls out your name
Name
