here's a man who can't take a joke
he wails and battles and bawls
here's a man who lost his control
and i can see, we all can see, that he'll never get that joke

crowds of many makes a man of steel,
but alone he battles his rust
i can't tell if he's the only one
and i can see, we all can see, how he'll never get that joke

why don't you buy time, toss-around time
you want to get that joke
why don't you find time, and realize
the walls won't fall on you

the critics came and changed the earth
sticks and stones are all dust
oh, ________________ just fade away
words are cheap, all really deep, now we want to get that joke

why don't you buy time, dance-around time
you're really not that joke
why don't you find time, and realize
the walls won't fall on you

empathize and hide your eyes,
let's just talk about us
two friends walk into the dark
got to be, when he can sleep, and we never get that joke

why don't you but time, toss-around time
we're really not that joke
why don't you find time, and realize
the walls won't fall on you

why don't you find time, kick-around time
you're really not that joke
why don't you find time, and realize
the walls won't fall on you
