Lyrics

[Intro]
Music
[Instrumental]
Are you hot enough for iron to be struck?
You wanna drive the truck, but the way that you're set up you don't
There's not a question of whether you won't
When all the consequences are remote
Where is the joke?
Oh no
[Chorus]
Please explain the joke
You can write it down
You can write it down
Write it down
[Verse 1]
Where civilization's involved
There's no consolation involved
And there is no knee to protect
Or any vacation to be had
Well, then again
The situations shift like water turns to piss
No permanent eclipse, but if you stare right into the sun
Well, then your vision is gonna be fucked
There's not a battle that's easily won by anyone
Oh no
[Instrumental]
Please explain the joke
You can write it down
Please explain the joke
[Outro]
Now that the thought screams more than the memory
Closing your eyes hurts more than the sensory
Sifting through sounds is just like the other thing
Circling 'round is just like a wedding ring
Written by: Raina Bock, Shannon Connor
