Lawrence Arms are one of the greatest "intelli-punk" bands ever... i once read, combine
intellectual lyrics with a little lefty literature and 3 cases of the most watered down
ps beer and you have a slight taste of the LA... and it couldn't be more true. this
entire album has the theme of "a clown here to entertain" and a lot of the songs tie
together, if you don't have it go out and BUY it.... thats where you go to your local
record store and give them money... yes local... if you don't have one... order the CD
we go, on with the show!
[E]Telephone Telephone![G] What did you [C]scream into your [D]telephone?
Telephone! Wh[E]at did you [G]scream into your [C]telephone? Telephone!?[D]
I'm a [E]sht [E]stain [E]slave with a [G]grind of my [C]own.
I [E]work day and night, less r[G]espect than a [D]Juggalo.
I'm [E]frying on the outside and [G]frozen in the [C]center.
I'm [E]telling you I'm telling you to [G]watch out for my [D]temper.
[C]Cuz you won't like me when I'm angry.
[D]You'll see banners everywhere.
[C]The street where I'm from in the town where I [D]live is now barely even there.
[E]Telephone Telephone! [G]What did you [C]scream into your [D]telephone?
Telephone! [E]What did you [G]scream into your [C]telephone? Telephone!?[D]
I [E]haven't had fun in what [G]seems like [C]years.
I had a [E]thumbs up for you, but it was [G]caught in the g[D]ears.
These [E]tears are just onion eyes this [G]heart is just [C]broken.
This [E]body is a break room where the [G]burnouts are s[D]moking.
[C]This body is a break room [D]where the burnouts are smoking.
[E]Telephone Telephone![G] What did you [C]scream into your [D]telephone?
Telephone! Wh[E]at did you [G]scream into your [C]telephone? Telephone!? [D]TELEPHONE!!
[G]I'm a clown, I'm just h[D]ere to enter[C]tain. [G]Tear me up and s[D]tuff me down the
[C]drain.
