lyrics

Well I dropped out of college
To be an abstract comedy musician
And I need some money
So I call up my dad.
And I can hear him smiling
on the other end of the phone as he says,
“Why don’t you work for me on the psychic hotline?
The money is good and you can work from home whenever you want.”
35 cents a minute.
I just hang around and wait for the phone to ring.
“Yes I can do that sir, I can give you the lottery numbers.
You say the ones I gave you last week didn’t work?
Let’s try again. But it’ll take a little longer this time.”
Me and my dad are working the psychic hotline
and maybe we’re gonna strike it rich.
The people that call are mostly poor and lonely southern housewives.
They’re paying four bucks a minute
just to hear someone say everything’s alright.
They just want to talk to another human being.
They wanna know if their husbands are cheating.
My dad’s voice is in my ear: “no matter what you hear,
just keep them talking.”
Me and my dad are working the psychic hotline
and maybe we’re gonna strike it rich.
But I don’t how much longer I can work the hotline.
I’m kind of afraid to answer my phone anymore.
