Punch in the Gut Songtext
von Tim Heidecker

They said, come
On your own
Don′t you bring anyone
Just you
After lunch
In the parking lot
We're gonna settle this one on one

He never wanted to punch no one
Never wanted to land that punch in the gut
Never wanted to cross across the chin
Never wanted to commit that particular sin

He didn′t do
What they said he'd done
Didn't steal a thing from anyone
But I knew
He was an innocent kid
And he couldn′t have done the things they said that he did


He never wanted to punch no one
Never wanted to land that punch in the gut
Never wanted to cross across the chin
Never wanted to commit that particular sin

And they give him no choice
They give him no choice
Oh they backed him in till he backed them down to the ground

Then the tough boys
Thought they had their man
They were born to take a stand
But the kid
With the different skin
Was figuring out the kind of trouble he was in

When I went
To the priest
And I pleaded please to intervene
He said, no
It′s not my place
Let boys be boys
Let 'em lose in disgrace


He never wanted to punch no one
Never wanted to land that punch in the gut
Never wanted to cross across the chin
Never wanted to commit that particular sin

And they give him no choice
They give him no choice
Oh they backed him in till he backed them down to the ground

They give him no choice
They give him no choice
Oh they backed him in till he backed them down
To the ground
