lyrics

(one two three four!)

Forty minutes on hold to explain a very simple thing
Which is that I gave a man named Dex my car voluntarily
And he took it to Nevada, also voluntarily, his part
(his part!)
And now we are both learning about liability together

The hold music was genuinely quite good (quite good)
I looked it up. I have it in a playlist now.

Insurance call!
(call, call, call)
Forty minutes and one extremely long pause
Insurance call!
And I was cheerful the entire time, which unsettled him

He said "ma'am, most people are angry" and I said "why"
He had no answer. He'd never been asked why before.
We ended up talking about his daughter's college fund
(college fund!)
Twenty minutes. Lovely man. Still no car though.

Okay so this is bad. Nope nope nope.
(pause)
He's called Raymond. He's sending me a Christmas card.
This is fine! This is genuinely, actually fine!
(BAND EXPLODES)

Insurance call!
(call, call, call)
Forty minutes and one extremely long pause
Insurance call!
And I was cheerful the entire time, which unsettled him

(this is fine!)
