Off the Chain

Dime a dozen? Well, I’ll take a dozen.
Buck twenty, for all that fussin,
might as well throw in a couple more and keep the change.
Across the nation, station to station,
people finding themselves losing their patience
just too much information for a brain.
When I set out I wanted to be like apple butter,
now I’ve gotten myself into this awful clutter
standing on tops shouting out my own name.
I’m so ashamed! I’ve got to sing.
I’d sing in key, I’d try anything,
anything, just get me off the chain.

From the BOA to the Credit Union
GoDaddy, Paypal, voicemail, email
Twitter, soundcloud, Facebook
just a few more to name
I got Fanbridge, Sonicbids, ASCAP, Netflix
UA Air, Amazon, United, Orbitz
I’m just getting started
but I didnt come to complain.
From my FTP to MYSQL
what’s the password? I can’t tell,
but multiply these by each of my domains.
Reverbnation, Ustream, YouTube,
You tips of icebergs, you rascals you
I’d do anything to get me the chain

CH
Get me off the chain.
Get me off the chain.
Come on baby, make me sane
just get me off the chain.
Get me off the chain.

You never know what somebody’s going through.
You never know what somebody might be on.
You never know unless, of course, you do
but then do you a side disdain?
Seems like everybody’s choosing red or blue.
Couldn’t I just be a purple hobo that everybody knew.
I’m already on that train.
When I set out I just wanted to be like sweet ice tea.
Look lordy what become of me.
I’m like a pig with pearls fishing down a drain.
I’m so ashamed! I’ve got to sing.
I’d sing in key, I’d try anything,
anything, just get me off the chain.
