There you have the song
Lyrics
throw that punch
swing to hit the target
It's a pointless game
One better less played
Suicide
To kiss your kids goodnight
Will you take from them
What they've taken from you
To be the last one who will sing you to sleep
Just like your unbroken records (you're broken)
A comfort to you tonight
throw that punch
swing to hit the target
It's a pointless game
One better less played
Suicide
To kiss your kids goodnight
Will you take from them
What they've taken from you
we will never be the same
same old songs on a brand new stereo
same old songs
Just like your broken records (you're broken)
Will convert, for you tonight
