When the telephone rings, that's me calling
On your customer service line
And I'm warning you now, I'm unhappy
And I'm gonna give you a hard time
You may think that I'm just being stubborn
Or perhaps just a bit insecure
Go ahead and say what you want of me
But I'm gonna speak to your manager
I'm gonna speak to your manager
Yeah I'm gonna ruin your day
Gonna tell them that you should be kicked to the curb
It's the only thing that makes me feel okay
You can tell right away from the tone of my voice
That I've got an axe to grind
Try all you want to reason with me
But I'm gonna lose my damn mind
You see I am the customer and I'm always right
No exception to the rule that's for sure
So you'd better give me exactly what I want
Or I'm gonna speak to your manager
I'm gonna speak to your manager
Yeah it's all over for you
There aren't many times I feel in control
But this is the one time I do
I try to think of what the reason could be
Why do I treat people so terribly
Maybe it runs in my family tree
Or maybe I lack basic empathy
I don't have a degree in psychology
But it could be a defect with my personality
That makes me see you as a punching bag for me
And see me as your Muhammad Ali
You know my wife left me this morning
Just an hour after we lost a child
Perhaps I should seek out some therapy
But first this complaint must be filed
Yeah I'm gonna make my problems your problems
Gonna make this painful for you, rest assured
And no matter how you try to talk me down
I'm still gonna speak to your manager
I'm gonna speak to your manager
And I hope that you lose your job next
Hope you enjoy filling out paperwork
To collect your unemployment checks
I'm an empty, angry person
And I don't care how you may have felt
Because no matter how much you hate me
You couldn't hate me as much as I hate myself
