The problem
A long hard look
The detour
Down a deep dark hole
The unreliable element
It’s something I don’t wanna know

When push comes to shove
SHOVE
When push comes to shove
SHOVE
When push comes to shove
SHOVE

Content to let inspiration pass
Content to let ideas slide
No longer a fair partner
The grey hair
The stale air

When push comes to shove
SHOVE
When push comes to shove
SHOVE
When push comes to shove
SHOVE
Shove it
SHOVE

Hey, there’s no glamour in this business
So get your mouthwash and do your dishes
Don’t let the baby fall into the bucket
When push comes to shove, fuck it

I’m gonna keep you at arms length
An in-admission component
People say “Hey Jon, can I come in?”
The inelegant equation
No
The difficult solution
No you can’t, keep away
The compromise
They say “Hey Jon”
The diminished return
I said no, no you can’t
The losing hand
Each selection worse than the previous
I’m gonna keep you at arms length
A terrible choice
No you can’t

When push comes to shove
SHOVE
When push comes to shove
SHOVE
When push comes to shove
SHOVE

Shove it

WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE
WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE
