Il Gioco della Pinza Meccanica.

 

They've sped up to the point where they provoke,

the punch-line before they have told the joke,

plenty of desperation to be seen,

staring at the television screen.

They've sped up to the point where they provoke

you to tell the fucking punch-line, before you have told the joke,

"Sorry sunshine it doesn't exist.

It wasn't in the top 100 list"

It's the 1000th time that it's even bolder,

don't be surprised when you get bent over,

they told you but you were dying for it

Saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed,

the kids all dream of making it, whatever that means

Another variation on a theme,

a tangle on the television and the magazine

Do you reckon that they do it for a joke?

Do you reckon that they make them take an oath

that says: "We are defenders of any poser

or professional pretender around"

When did your list replace the twist and turn

like a fist, replaced a kiss, don't concern

us with your bollocks, I don't want your prayer

save it for the morning after.

Let's have a game on the teddy picker

"not quick enough can I have it quicker"

already thick and your getting thicker

Presuming all things are equal

who'd want to be men of the people,

when there's people like you.
