Get Off the Phone
Johnny Thunders Lyrics

Ten years old
You've been stuck to the phone since childhood.

Anything goes
You talk about anything and everything on the phone.

All you ever knew was a bullshit phone
You've been living in a phone bubble.

Now you're on the bells
You're addicted to the sound of the phone ringing.

Yacking in the booths
You spend hours talking on the phone in phone booths.

But where you supposed to go?
You don't have a direction in life beyond the phone.

Well I just don't know so
I can't help you with that.

Get off the phone
You should stop talking on the phone.

There's nobody home
Nobody wants to talk to you anymore.

Cause I don't want you
I don't want to talk to you.

What's that ringing sound?
The phone keeps ringing, but it doesn't mean anything anymore.

Everything's going round and round
Talking on the phone has become your whole world.

Calling everybody and their mother too
You call everyone indiscriminately.

But don't call me 'cause I just left you so
I'm done with your phone obsession.

You hung up on love when I called that night
You chose the phone over love.

You hung up on bells at the ring side fights
You're more interested in the sound of the phone than real life experiences.

You hung up on your heart
You're ignoring your own feelings because of the phone.

You hung up on the world
You're disconnected from reality because of the phone.

Now you hung yourself on the telephone pole so
Your obsession with the phone has become your downfall.

I don't care
I'm done with you.

What you wear
Your fashion choices don't matter.

You ain't gonna go
You won't get anywhere if you stay on the phone all day.

Nowhere
Your phone obsession is a dead end.
