Punch in the Face
Reckless Rebellion: Yearning for a Punch in the Face
Lyrics
Middle class white boys trying hard to annoy
Mocking middle-class white boys attempting to provoke.
All we really needed is a ticket to ride
They lack direction but desire excitement.
Fighting with no-one at all that's ok
They engage in fights without real conflict.
We've got no balls
They lack courage or determination.
Someone needs to sort us out
They need someone to intervene and discipline them.
And make benny cry
Desire to make someone named Benny cry, possibly indicating a desire to cause emotional pain.
All we need is a punch in the face
Expressing a desire to face consequences, possibly for their actions or attitudes.
Lary Emdur is OK compared to us
Comparing themselves negatively to a public figure, suggesting their behavior is worse.
He makes the grade
Acceptance that someone else (Lary Emdur) is better in comparison.
Self-depreciation is important for some
Recognizing the value of self-criticism or deprecation.
We deserve a beating can someone teach a lesson
Admitting they deserve punishment and seek someone to teach them a lesson.
All that they'd be doing is just having some fun
Belief that any punishment inflicted would be enjoyable for the punisher.
All we need is a punch in the face
Reiteration of the desire for consequences or punishment.
And they go bam ba ba bam etc...
Lyrics suggest a musical interlude or transition.
