  • Please don't try to find me through my dealer
    He won't pick up his phone
    Please don't try my father either
    He ain't been home for years
    I know I'm no spirit seeker
    I can't sleep through the tears
    I get lost in the ether

    I check it, I wreck it, I turn it around
    I gave you all my money, gave you all my money
    Gave you all my money, gave you all my money
    I don't wanna live
    I don't wanna give you nothing
    'Cause you never give me nothing back
    Why can't you be good for something?
    Not one shirt off your back
    Why can't you be good for something?
    Not one shirt off your back

    Please don't try to find me through my dealer
    He won't pick up his phone
    Please don't try my doctor either
    He won't take any calls
    He's no fucking spirit healer
    He just can't stop to talk
    But he's gone now for the weekend

    I check it, I wreck it, and I'll explain
    I gave you all my money, gave you all my money
    Gave you all my money, gave you all my money
    I don't wanna live
    I don't wanna give you nothing
    'Cause you never give me nothing back
    Why can't you be good for something?
    Not one shirt off your back
    Why can't you be good for something?
    Not one shirt off your back

    (555) please don't
    (9275, 555) try to find me through my dealer
    (Now you've got a busy time) he won't pick up his phone
    (All circuits are busy, goodbye)
    (All circuits are busy, you're high) please don't try my father either
    (All circuits are busy, goodbye)
    (All circuits are busy, you're high) he ain't been home for years Writer/s: Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, Loren Shane Humphrey, Miles Peter Kane, Tyler Parkford, Zachary Dawes
