Punch Drunk Lyrics

Take a look around this bar
take a look around this place
take a look around this hall
Think it's a fucking gym?
Kick and punch and kick and punch and
kick and punch and kick and punch
Who's your friend? Who's your friend?
Who's your friend? Who's your friend?
Your enemy.

Take a look around this bar
take a look around this place
take a look right in the mirror
What are you a fucking queer?
Kick and punch and kick and punch and
kick and punch and kick and punch
Who's your friend? Where's your friend?
He's over there, he's gonna fuck it up
for everybody

Kick and punch and kick and punch and
kick and punch and kick and punch
Who's you friend? Who's your friend?
Where's your friend? I guess he'd rather
be punch drunk

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
