No More Pushing Joe Around

[Intro]
Round two
Tell you what, cigarette butt
When I get back, we're going to have a boxing match!

[Chorus]
No more pushing Joe around
No more pushing Joe around
There'll be no more pushing Joe around
He's up and punching now

[Verse 1]
You know they used to push Joe around
You could only push him so far until 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

[Verse 2]
Now ever since his nervous breakdown
Everybody's 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 sees 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
But there'll be no more pushing Joe around
No more pushing Joe around
No more pushing Joe around
He's up and punching now

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
And 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

[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus]
'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
And there'll be no more pushing Joe around, ooh

[Outro]
I take it all back
I take it all back
I take it all back
I take it all back

[Interlude]
Getting acquainted with yourself
You who are now starting on the greatest adventure of your life
If, yes, if you were listening
With a mind free from previously formed opinions
Skepticism, and prejudice
Stop and think, "Why have you listened?"
