Staples Lyrics

'Cause it hasn't been that long
since you almost hit the tree
'Cause it hasn't been that long
since you hit the pole because of speed

Do you remember (do you remember)
The ambulance it took you there?
Do you remember (do you remember)
They cut your pants your favorite pair?
They shaved your head
Where's all your hair?

The doctor said, "We need some staples for his head."
The doctor said, "Another foot you could be dead."
The doctor said, "We need some staples for his head."
The doctor said, "You should have took the bus instead."

All you could hear was kachunk, kachunk, kachunk
All you could hear was the doctor putting staples in this punk
All you could hear was kachunk, kachunk, kachunk
All you could hear was the doctor putting staples in this punk

He could have died that day
Which means that he would not be here
He would have gone away
Friends and family we'd shed our tears
But the good thing would be
That we would always know
He would be living
With Jesus Christ in his new home

He could have died that day
Which means that he would not be here
He would have gone away
Friends and family we'd shed our tears
But the good thing would be
That we would always know
He would be living
With Jesus Christ in his new home

Introduction:
Relient K is an American rock band known for their Christian-themed music. One of their well-known songs is "Staples," which is featured on their debut studio album, "Relient K."

Verse 1: Do you remember (do you remember) / The ambulance it took you there? / Do you remember (do you remember) / They cut your pants your favorite pair? / They shaved your head / Where's all your hair?

The song starts by asking the listener if they remember an incident where an ambulance took someone to the hospital. The lyrics mention that during this incident, the person's pants, which were their favorite, had to be cut, and their head was shaved. This sets the tone for a serious event or accident that the person experienced.

Verse 2: The doctor said, "We need some staples for his head." / The doctor said, "Another foot you could be dead." / The doctor said, "We need some staples for his head." / The doctor said, "You should have taken the bus instead."

In this verse, the lyrics depict a conversation between the doctor and the injured person. The doctor mentions the need for staples to close a wound on the person's head. The lyrics also suggest that the person's injuries were severe, to the point where if they had been an inch closer to the accident, they could have lost their life. The doctor then comments that it would have been safer for the person to have taken the bus instead.

Chorus: All you could hear was kachunk, kachunk, kachunk / All you could hear was the doctor putting staples in this punk / All you could hear was kachunk, kachunk, kachunk / All you could hear was the doctor putting staples in this punk

The chorus emphasizes the sound of the doctor putting staples into the person's head, using the onomatopoeic word "kachunk." The use of the word "punk" in this context refers to the injured person, highlighting their vulnerability and the seriousness of their situation.
