lyrics

Much to my dismay, sipping 5 dollar lattes at the Starsucks where we meet
Your demeanor’s cold as ice, but you’re twice as nice when you hear your cell phone ring
A ringy-dingy-ding, ding-ding-ding-diddle- ling-ding-ding
Some bastardized version of some classical song pumping out of your cell with a digitized bell
And you smile and hum along
You press “okay,” you talk for days
You’re a social catastrophe
If I’m in the mood for solitude, I’ll just plan to meet you for coffee
All we wanted as boys, out of all our broken toys
Was two walkie-talkies that really worked well
And I have no doubts that Jimmy’s tree house would’ve been captured if we just had cells
But what helps communicate back when we were 8 is now what tears us far apart
You’re not talking covert ops, nor robbers and cops
And this sure as hell ain’t my backyard
You press “okay,” you talk for days
You’re totally that guy
Your cell phone is just a fetish for fear that your social life will die
So don’t call me on your cell phone
I wouldn’t want you to miss another call because of me
No don’t call me before 8 PM
You’re gonna need those anytime minutes for the next time that you’re hanging out with me
For your uniform you’ll need a clunky plastic beeping earring
And try this nifty hands-free headset
It goes so well with your total lack of respect
So don’t call me on your cell phone
I don’t want you to get a brain tumor just for lil’ ol’ me
And don’t ask me to untie you
‘Cause kid, I think you need a little time away from that fuckin’ thing
‘Cause kid, I think you need a little time away from that fucking thing
