I’m rolling with the punches, the punches,i’m fending off the punishment but it’s overcoming me,I’m bouncing and I’m bobbing, and I’m dodging I’m rolling with the punches but they’re raining down on me
But I’m not patient And I’m not too willing, Not pulling any punches, no punches
I’m pulling back on judgments and the way they make me feel,I’m weaving and I’m bobbing, and I’m dancing,I’m rolling with the punches but they’re coming straight at me
But I’m not willing,And I’m not too patient,So I try to fight it,But it’s just insistent…goddammit!
I’m not amused and I’m past pissed off,I got old and fat and that’s not helping me out
I’m doling out the notions, suggestions,And I’ll offer up solutions for a different way to be
I’m rolling with the punches, direct hits,Avoiding all the comments and how they make me feel
I’m rolling with the punches, the punches,i’m fending off the punishment but it’s overcoming me,I’m not patient,And I’m not willing,And I’m not too patient,So I try to fight it,But it’s just insistent…so roll…
