RINGTONE RETARD
A latte in one hand,
your mobile in the other,
you drift into traffic,
you disconnect your mother.
You text-message Suzy
as you flip through the frequencies.
Your system is pounding
as you rack up delinquencies.
You're a ringtone retard.
I feel for you. It must be hard
to be so without a clue.
You're such a dope,
but try to cope.
Your ringtone may deliver some hope.
Dinner, movie, work, play,
the glowing display beckons,
illuminates the hours of your life,
it counts the seconds.
You don't dare turn it off,
the silence: terrifying.
Ricky, Bobbi, Lou,
one of them might be trying to
reach the ringtone retard.
I feel your pain.
It must be hard
being born without a brain.
I feel for you. Oh don't be blue.
Your ringtone is ringin' for you.
A latte in one hand,
your mobile in the other,
you fight your way through the traffic,
you fight your mother.
You're late for your date,
but it's really quite early.
You've got the numbers for them all:
Johnny, Pete, Shirley...
You're a ringtone retard.
I feel for you. It must be hard
to be born without a clue.
I feel your pain, so I'll refrain
from calling you ever again.
You're a ringtone retard.
I feel for you. It must be hard
to be so without a clue.
You're such a dope,
but try to cope.
Your ringtone may deliver some hope.
You're a ringtone retard.
I feel for you.
Oh don't be blue.
Your ringtone is ringin' for you.
