Lyrics (transcribed by snowballinhell)

well.. i’m mightier than you with one hand on my crutch
i’m just a pointless punch and i’m trying to quit it
if it just happens straight-up once then that’d be enough

well.. i’m mightier than you.. is this a bone i touched?
my hands are made from concrete.. hush now, child
if it just happens straight-up once
then that’d be enough..

yeah.. that’d be enough
yeah.. tell me how come i’m just a pointless punch?
(pulling a punch) i’m just a pointless punch
(pulling a punch) i’m just a pointless punch
i’m just a pointless (pulling) punch

Note

Although this song was officially released on cassette, the sound quality of the stream below is superior as it appears to be ripped directly from the master (in the possession of Tony Lash, from whose soundcloud the stream originates).
