Lyrics

I'm driving in my car
I pick up my cell phone
It’s kinda feeling hot
Like a pie tin on a drone
Was it the lithium?
Or maybe a faulty wire
‘Cause later that day…
oooo…it’s on fire

Late at night
I’m sittin’ ‘round home
Watching PTI
and Wilbon’s saying, “Ton…”
“I’m not really surprised…”
Kornheiser’s blood pressure’s getting higher
But then my damn phone
oh…it starts on fire
Fire

Shoulda bought me an iPhone
right from the start
Though the Apple Store
Is full of geeks with no heart
just wanted something
to keep from looking like a fool
But my brand new Samsung
Just can’t stay cool…

Hillary and Donald Trump
Both considered pariahs
Baby, you can bet
Mutual hate they can’t deny
The country seems split
There’s no bridging that divide
But for the love of God
Ouch! Can we stop these fires?
Fires
Fires
Fires

    Great song choice. Especially love the first verse. Jason, "fire" is definitely two syllables here.

    Thanks! Yeah, had no idea where to go on the last verse...but the song seemed incomplete without it. Had 45 minutes to do this thing. :)
