[Intro]
Well, just give me the beat! Cha-cha-cha-cha!
[Verse]
She woke up from a dream inside a plastic machine
With lights and wires and rings and she was just seventeen
She told her mom it was the boyfriend
The boyfriend told her to lie
And tell her that it was only done with good sense of style
And now she's losing her mind with all the stories
And I don't want to see it, want to stick around to watch this all go down
You told me you don't agree, well babe, that's just fine with me
You put me up against the wall, you put me up against the wall
You put me up against the wall
[Chorus]
The people just spoke up, they've lost their sense of touch
This life is no good when everyone's got someplace to go
They've taken what was free and put it on TV
A great catastrophe, 'cause everybody's talking on phones
[Bridge]
Don't tell me lies that don't make sense
Don't tell me lies that don't make sense
But you've been talking on your phone for nearly way too long
Leaving me in the shock of it all
Don't tell me lies that don't make sense
Don't tell me lies
I've put you in the back of my mind since that call yesterday
Almost like I've got something to say
Leaving me with all the shock and awe
Leaving me with all the shock and awe, that's fine
Oh, that's fine, oh oh
Leaving me with all the shock and awe
I told your parents don't look hot at all
And nevermind it's all upset and sex
Leaving me in a psychotic stance
[Chorus]
The people just spoke up, they've lost their sense of touch
This life is no good when everyone's got someplace to go
They've taken what was free and put it on TV
A great catastrophe, 'cause everybody's talking on phones
(When you come home, don't tell me lies!)
[Outro]
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking
Everybody's talking, 'cause everybody's talking on phones
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking
Leaving me in the shock, leaving me in the shock
Leaving me with all the shock and awe
Leaving me with all the shock and awe, that's fine
Oh, that's fine, oh oh
Leaving me with all the shock and awe, leaving me
'Cause everybody's talking on phones!
