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
