Killed By Telephones

[Verse 1]
My telephone is ringing like a hammer in my head
I wonder, “Now, who could that be?” as I crawl out of bed
My life is on the line, and I have to pay the toll
He called collect to say he's gonna come collect my soul
Killed by telephones!

[Chorus]
I’ve been killed by telephones (Killed by telephones!)
I've been killed by telephones (Killed by telephones!)
All the lines are dead (Killed by telephones!)
All the lines are dead (Killed by telephones!)

(We are being specially stupid because stupid is the name of the game, of the lame, of the name of the-)

[Verse 2]
My telephone is ringing, yes it's ringing off the hook
My twenty-four hour hotline is startin’ in to cook
I think my ears are melting, my lips are gonna fry
If things get any hotter, man, I think I'm gonna die

(Yeah, we know how to take the Jack down the throat all day long)
Killed by telephones!

[Chorus]
I've been killed by telephones (Killed by telephones!)
I've been killed by telephones (Killed by telephones!)
All the lines are dead (Killed by telephones!)
All the lines are dead (Killed by telephones!)

[Verse 3]
Communication satellites are falling from their orbits-it's
It's time to run for cover, cause we're gonna go to war!
It's only hours ’til showers of power’s gonna knock down our cellular towers
Put away your portable, stop-drop-and-roll, the dirty cowards
Have taken over everything - they're sitting in their shelters
Where it swelters with the heat of their computers which are melting
While they’re telling us that we will all be turned to blackened bones
When the lines have all gone dead and we've been killed by telephones

[Outro]
We've been killed by telephones!

(And we're gonna go bowling! Woo! Super bowl! Yeah, yeah, woo!)
