No More Pushing Joe Around

Tell you what cigarette butt

When I get back we’re gonna have a boxing match

No more pushing Joe around

No more pushing Joe around

There’ll be no more pushing Joe around

He’s up and punching now

You know they used to push Joe around

You can only push him so far till he fell down

But there’ll be no more pushing Joe around

No more pushing Joe around

There’ll be no more pushing Joe around

He’s up and punching now

He knows how to be angry now

Now ever since his nervous breakdown

Everybody been pushing Joe around

And he was always apologizing

You could hit him in the face and he’d just say I’m

sorry

But now he’s changed his story

He’s seen there’s no glory in pain

And he’s come to like the sunshine better than the rain

And he sees no need to explain

He doesn’t want to play the game

No more pushing Joe around

No more pushing Joe around

There’ll be no more pushing Joe around

He’s up and punching now

And I’ll tell you what sister in law

I’m sorry I had to use your car

But you were mean to me an awful lot

You were crazy against me in your heart

And I was wrong not to tell you that

I let you go on thinking you were righteous

But there’ll be no more pushing Joe around

He’s up and punching now

And I gotta say sweet angel

I love you but you used me

You had me on a string

To get your lover to buy you a wedding ring

And listen here mommy dear

I get weak inside when you get near

God bless you for all those years

But this bird has flown ma no more tears

There’ll be No more pushing Joe around

No more pushing Joe around

There’ll be no more pushing Joe around

He’s up and punching now

He knows how to be angry now

Yeah man I’ve got my friends

Now I’ve got my own friends

So if you don’t want to be no friend of mine

Then just stand here in this here line

Cause I can’t take rejection no more

And I’m handing out the punches now

Cause there’ll be no more pushing Joe around

No more pushing Joe around

There’ll be no more pushing Joe around

‘Cause he’s up and punching now

He knows how to be angry now

He’s up and punching now

He knows how to be angry now

There’ll be no more pushing Joe around

I take it all back; I take it all back

I take it all back; I take it all back
