iphone blues

Sung to the song smugglers blues by Glenn Frey. In case you don’t know the song... http://www.mtv.com/videos/glenn-frey/256466/smugglers-blues.jhtml


There's trouble on the LAN tonight, I can feel it in my bones
I had a premonition that he should not swap his phone
I knew iphones were deadly but I didn’t think they’d kill
his 3gs exploded and the blood began to spill
So baby, here's your ticket, and the suitcase in your hand
Here's another sim card, now do it just the way we planned
block google voice in twenty countries, Jobs’ll pay you twenty grand
I'm sorry it went down like this, but someone had to lose
It's the nature of the business, it's the iphone blues

Blackberry and the treo, the envy and the bold
The coverage and the deadzones, and the things that make you cold
Don’t matter about the appstore, cost or where you be
You’ve got to get an iphone if you are an EVP
There's lots of shady characters and lots of dirty deals
Every name's an alias in case somebody squeals
It's the lure of itunes music, it's got a very strong appeal
Perhaps you'd understand it better listening to my songs
It's the ultimate enticement, it's the iphone blues

You see it in the headlines, you hear it every day
They say google will top it, but it doesn't go away
They screw you with their contract and sell it in their stores
They roll them out as cellular and man it's here to stay
It's propping up the governments in China and here too
You ask any wireless, man, they'll say there's nothing we can do
From the office of verizon right down to me and you
Me and you
It's a losing proposition, but one you can't refuse
It's the politics of wireless, it's the iphone blues
