"Cable Cut Boogie"
(from "Rough Cuts")
I got a warning in a telephone call from a woman with a voice that was gruff, tough and raw.
She said if I don't pay the bill by 4:00 today---
It's off with Mr. McFeely--- hey, hey, hey.
Cable cut boogie came down at my T.V.
Times are tough and life's coming down on me.
I can live without it, I watch it way too much,
I got lots of books I've hardly touched,
Or tune in the F.M. on the "90" end of the dial---
The culture couldn't kill me every once in a while.
Cable cut boogie, and static is free
Times are tough and life is interfering with me.
They got rabbit ears at the Radio Shack.
They want your home phone number to take your cash.
It ain't worth the hassle, ain't worth the money--- for rotten reception --too bad, honey bunny.
Cable cut boogie, came down on me.
Lost my vision, something's missing,
Listening while the T.V. screams.
So long promos and infomercials,
Hate like heck to have to miss that Urlke.
I may be crying cause I lost an upper tier,
But I can rent a lot of video for 300 bucks a year.
