Long Distance Calls Songtext
von Socratic

Everyone is working hard, mother′s got a shit job
And daddy got a blow job, divorce ain't free
Lawyer gets a phone call, he′s back on the payroll
It's time to figure out who gets the house and the keys
Mom and dad get uptight, the kids see the whole fight
It's all very childlike, their vulgar tones
Sister starts crying and brother starts whining
But please don′t forget we′re a family

Now it's time for long distance calls
To say I love you, I don′t know you at all
And I don't sympathize with deadbeat dads
He sits alone, we′re all he had


It's twenty years later and brother′s got a girlfriend
His wife is on the back end, divorce ain't free
Sister's got a husband but he don′t give her loving
It′s funny, it's a turn around how life isn′t free
Gotta pay the mortgage and get the kids through college
And maybe if we're lucky we can make ends meet
Sister starts crying and brother starts whining
But please don′t forget we're a family
Yeah please don′t forget we're a family

Now it's time for long distance calls
To say I love you, I don′t know you at all
And I don′t sympathize with deadbeat dads
He sits alone, we're all he had

And now it′s time for long distance calls
To say I love you, I don't know you at all
And I don′t sympathize with deadbeat dads
He sits alone, we're all he had
