lyrics

Friday night with nothing to do
I figure that I'd better call you
We'll go out to a club or a bar
And drink 'til we don't know who we are
But while I'm chatting up a new fling
I overhear your mobile phone ring
And the sound permeating my ears
Has conjured up the deepest of fears

And I can't stand it, the song that's playing
I think my ear drums are now decaying
The noise is driving me up the walls
I have to hear it every time that somebody calls

Your ringtone is angry German music
And now I'm afraid of it, now I'm afraid of it
This is my plea
One note repeating and zero lyrics
I can't get away from it, can't get away from it
Please let me be

Now the party's getting in flux
But I'm stuck with a headache deluxe
The ringing racket, it never ends
Who knew that you had so many friends?
I duck and cover every time
Your European drivel doth chime
Embarrassed at the thought that I know
Someone stuck in a decade ago

I can't believe that you gave it face time
The synthesized and redundant bass line
And if this download you truly bought
All I can think is du must really hast mich a lot

You're coming off as weird and pathetic
I can't get away from it, get me away from it
Please let me be

I know you've probably got a solid defense
But there's a billion better ways to spend your ninety-nine cents
We'll get through this together, you can still be my friend
But I don't ever want to hear this
Neo-Nazi Auschwitz garbage again
