Lyrics Long Distance Calls - Socratic

Long Distance Calls

Everyone is working hard
Mothers got a shit job
Daddy got a blow job
Divorce ain’t free
Lawyer gets a phone call
He’s back on the payroll
It’s time to figure out who gets the house and the keys
Mom and Dad get uptight
The kids see the whole fights
It’s all very childlike, their vulgar tones
Sister starts crying, brother starts whining
But please don’t forget we’re a family
Now it’s time for long distance calls
To say I love you I don’t know you at all
I don’t sympathize with dead beat dads
He sits alone we were all he had
It’s 20 year later
Brothers got a girlfriend
His wife is on the back end
Divorce ain’t fee
Sisters got a husband
But he don’t give her lovin'
It’s funny its a turnaround how life isn’t free
Got to pay the mortgage and get the kids thru college
And maybe if we’re lucky we can make ends meet
Sister starts crying, brother starts whining
But please don’t forget we’re a family
