Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Someone clean to chew on a wife that no one likes
I called and they said, "All of New York
Is a tow-away zone"
We paid sixty dollars on 12th Street today
And now all our money's gone
[Verse 2]
You don't have to answer me
You don't have to call me back
Your phones off the hook
But you're not
[Verse 3]
You hate my older sister and you burglarize her home
Your dirty invitation waits, run over on my street
I don't care who you don't like
You don't have to answer me
[Verse 4]
You don't have to answer me
You don't have to call me back
Your phones off the hook
But you're not
[Verse 5]
Someone clean to chew on a wife that no one likes
I called and they said, "All of New York
Is a tow-away zone"
We paid sixty dollars on 12th street today
And now all our money's gone
[Verse 6]
You don't have to answer me
You don't have to call me back
Your phones off the hook
But you're not
[Verse 7]
But you're not
But you're not
[Verse 8]
But you're not
