Lyrics:
The Signal
By Shantell Ogden and Bill DiLuigi
Old Helen broke her hip last week
Finally got a ride in a model T
Hattie had to take her into town
on the internet, gettin' a connect for your phone through ya MVV
Most Valuable Vendor, time for you to send ya bill back to the pretenders
Like Rogers & Bell, just
you wish you
Never met the girl from the crowd
Of a basement show
No
Cause now you’re low
And she’s too
High to reach the telephone
We’re better off
telephone
Bros I no fit hear you
Bros I no fit hear you when I'm choking on Alariwo (Alariwo alariwo)
I be on tha net working like Verizon
Bros I no fit hear
That's how I feel
Ride these streets alone
You know the deal
No one to telephone
It's sad but its real
I done did a lotta work on my own
Scratches
the shades away down low
And disconnected the telephone
But these tears a running from my eyes
I can't turn them off and on
No, I can't turn them off
the shades away down low
And disconnected the telephone
But these tears a running from my eyes
I can't turn them off and on
No, I can't turn them off
the new Mike Tyson's Roy Jones
Bill Clinton's the new JFK, without the hole in his dome
The new Don Trump is Bill Gates
Not because his occupation, it's
and the remote. It was beautiful?I would get a bill in the mail every month, I mostly paid them on time, cause I could go downtown to the rent-to-own store,
Don't wake me up I'm dreaming
My life in a silver screen
Oh I wanna live it more
Telephone-man I wanna ignore
We hustle here we hustle there
From
my room
Like Mmmh mama you be like uuu dada
Can I have you number
Call me on my telephone
Unanibela skeleton
Nikumvela daily monga chabe nipa telephone
And you can't change that
You're the only one I need
And you can't change that
Now you can try if you want to, woo
You can change your telephone
And you can't change that
You're the only one I need
And you can't change that
Now you can try if you want to, woo
You can change your telephone
the new Mike Tyson's Roy Jones
Bill Clinton's the new JFK, without the hole in his dome
The new Don Trump is Bill Gates
Not because his occupation, it's
the shades away down low
And disconnected the telephone
But these tears a running from my eyes
I can't turn them off and on
No, I can't turn them off
the shades away down low
And disconnected the telephone
But these tears a running from my eyes
I can't turn them off and on
No, I can't turn them off
(C.W. McCall, Bill Fries, Chip Davis)
Bill Fries says that this is based on a true story from the late '60s, when a band of hippies rolled into
Oh, weary me
I'm broke as a man can be
My bills are all due, I got holes in my shoe
Bill collectors, they won't let me sleep
If I could teach
And you can't change that
You're the only one I need
And you can't change that
Now you can try if you want to, woo
You can change your telephone
And you can't change that
You're the only one I need
And you can't change that
Now you can try if you want to, woo
You can change your telephone
I'm the guy you already know with a gold wrapper in my pocket
Look what I got, dollar bills all in a knot, telephone calls get dropped
Still I'm
me saying
'My world is on fire'
Heard your pretty voice
Hurricane in my heart
Damn those telephone lines
Damn those telephone lines
I can't help this
And you can't change that
You're the only one I need
And you can't change that
Now you can try if you want to, woo
You can change your telephone
And you can't change that
You're the only one I need
And you can't change that
Now you can try if you want to, woo
You can change your telephone
