The Lyrics
A treatise.
Hop on this here consumer ride
On hold, second call on the line
They broke AT&T to make rates slide down
Looking back , I now have a doubt
Seems politics had heavy clout
I wanna reach you bro, but there's no dialtone
Blow up your phone! Everywhere I roam
Sap you down to the bone, and do it again, do it again
Blow up your phone, rate hikes set in stone
Won't please leave us alone, you screwed us again, screwed us again
Tone signals are not flashing--Dead!
But at least you got your cool street cred
Your Razr's not as big as is my Bluetooth
The calls sound so damned tremulous
Static convos all get me pissed
"Can you hear me now?"--Obvious!
I missed you
Blow up your phone! Gotta mortgage your home
You gotta get you a loan just to pay it again, pay it again
Blow up your phone! Get your fancy ringtone
But don't you feel all alone? It's proven again, proven again
They attached all our lives to our telephones while we were sleeping
They attached all our lives to our telephones while we were sleeping
They attached all our lives to our telephones while we were sleeping
You remember how you used to call your Joes?
Now you can watch all your fave TV shows
And take photos of your face, even crop off your nose
They'll make your breakfast in the morning and pick out all your clothes!
Blow up your phone, please listen to my tome
Please won't you get off the phone and live life again, live life again?
Blow up your phone, just makes me wanna groan
Your ear stuck on the phone, and outside again, outside again
Live life again, live life again, just live life again
You gotta live life again, live life again, just live life again
On hold, second call on the line
They broke AT&T to make rates slide down
Looking back , I now have a doubt
Seems politics had heavy clout
I wanna reach you bro, but there's no dialtone
Blow up your phone! Everywhere I roam
Sap you down to the bone, and do it again, do it again
Blow up your phone, rate hikes set in stone
Won't please leave us alone, you screwed us again, screwed us again
Tone signals are not flashing--Dead!
But at least you got your cool street cred
Your Razr's not as big as is my Bluetooth
The calls sound so damned tremulous
Static convos all get me pissed
"Can you hear me now?"--Obvious!
I missed you
Blow up your phone! Gotta mortgage your home
You gotta get you a loan just to pay it again, pay it again
Blow up your phone! Get your fancy ringtone
But don't you feel all alone? It's proven again, proven again
They attached all our lives to our telephones while we were sleeping
They attached all our lives to our telephones while we were sleeping
They attached all our lives to our telephones while we were sleeping
You remember how you used to call your Joes?
Now you can watch all your fave TV shows
And take photos of your face, even crop off your nose
They'll make your breakfast in the morning and pick out all your clothes!
Blow up your phone, please listen to my tome
Please won't you get off the phone and live life again, live life again?
Blow up your phone, just makes me wanna groan
Your ear stuck on the phone, and outside again, outside again
Live life again, live life again, just live life again
You gotta live life again, live life again, just live life again

Great ______ Here!!!! Sorry Agr___orfee, Going through a tunnel!!!
Why does it seem like this "progress" has produced something worse than before? I'll text-message your vote to you -- naah, I'll just take a pic and forward it to you.... naah, I'll email it to your Blackberry...
Totally OT here, but I would like to express my love of the Lemonade & Brownies album cover, which may or many not be viewed in the amazon.com links above right.
Great Bell - bashin'! Um, I hope you don't mind that I'm replying on this here new-fangled i-Phone! Five monopolies for ya!
(Artistry) "They attached all our lives to our telephones while we were sleeping" is a FREAKING BRILLIANT line. The rest of the parody ain't bad either. :-)
(Artistry) Funny how we both came up with the same rhyme for the title for the same OS. Aside from that little niggle, nice job!
(Artistry) Very creative idea Agrimorfee. . .kinda the OPPOSITE of the original, which 180 parodies are always among my favorite ideas. . .dang cell phone companies have gone crazy with their charges. . .
(Artistry) Can you hear me now? See those people behind me? They're my network. And they're saying good job, Agri.
SOTM - I used to have a female coworker that referred to her cell phone as her "remote" because of the way she directed husband, children and friends with it. And that was before text messages, built in cameras and calendars. We lost touch when I moved but I'm willing to bet that by now when they as an alternative to ring tones have silent vibrators too she has probably divorced her husband and married one of them instead.
(SOTM) See above! Still wikkid!
Phone tap
(SOTM) I can relate to phaulty phones? (or even faulty fones?) Ah, what the hell, 555
I know where yo comin' from, Bro.
Shame there's not more to work with in TOS. I liked this and can definitely relate: my DSL is yet again fuxxored (it took 16 minutes to d/l the video for this song) and my land line has more static in it than a dryer full of sheep. The last line of the last verse seemed awkward, but the line Rex cited was indeed brilliant.
(SOTM) See Previous Comment, Still Awesome
SOTM - Interesting topic and boy, I know what that's like. $10 doesn't seem like much until you know that was for the text messages alone.
(SOTM) I can understand my phone (sort of) but I cannot understand the bills and the plan structures - but who am I to argue, I even have it with me in the shower - 555
(SOTM) Viva la freakin' revolution, Aggy! The less you get, the more you pay, and the telecoms fat cats are laughing all the way to the Swiss bank. Bravo. 555
This wasn't really hilarious, but it does have a good message with good execution.
(SOTM) I don't see the big deal with cell phones, either—I just make calls on mine, I don't receive them! And get rid of that stupid Verizon guy while you're at it. 555.
SOTM- Commented before, still very good stuff, Agri.
