If that phones keep ringing
i'm gonna lose some cool
i'm in my closet and i'm okay
leave me in peaceful abject misery
I'm a young man now but
there's an old man on my back
as he gets stronger i get weak
someday soon he'll take the place of me
If that scum keeps rising
i'm gonna jump this ship
tell me where did it go wrong
i can't fix it i'll just sing my song
You can deride and mock me
that's been done before
i won't get on my knees for you
i won't be a record business whore
