There you have the song

Lyrics 

throw that punch
swing to hit the target 
It's a pointless game
One better less played 
Suicide
To kiss your kids goodnight
Will you take from them
What they've taken from you

To be the last one who will sing you to sleep
Just like your unbroken records (you're broken)
A comfort to you tonight

throw that punch
swing to hit the target 
It's a pointless game
One better less played 
Suicide
To kiss your kids goodnight
Will you take from them
What they've taken from you

we will never be the same
same old songs on a brand new stereo
same old songs

Just like your broken records (you're broken)
Will convert, for you tonight
