Despair to the point where they provoke
Already thick and you're getting thicker
Staring at the television screen
She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed

Like a fist replaced the kissed-on concern
Of any poseur
The sheer desperation to be seen
Already thick and you're getting thicker

Another variation on a theme
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
They told ya, but you were gagging for it

And if you're bothered, I don't want your prayers
When did your list replace the twist and turn?

And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder
A tangle on the television and the magazine
And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
It wasn't in the Top 100 list
Let's have a game on the Teddy Picker
Sorry, sunshine, it doesn't exist
Who'd want to be men of the people
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
They told ya, but you were dying for it
Let's have a game on the Teddy Picker

Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Save it for the morning after

Pretender around"
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Or professional
Assuming that all things are equal

D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath that says:
When there's people like you?
"We are defenders
