A click says you’re connected and a buzz says that you’re heard.
Fingers slide across a panel. They’re recording every word
Try to talk about the weather. Don’t say anything absurd
‘Cause their tapping the phone again — insane!
Invitations from the Kremlin, interference on the line.
Dial a friend to find some comfort. Strike a message, tell the time.
And a voice checks in the distance «Christ, it’s nearly half past nine!»
Tapping the phone again — what a pain!
Give away the little secrets and it goes down in the file
Number EK5320 in the archives for a while.
Taking notes, flicking switches, reading programs, reading dials
Tapping the phone again — nice!
And the bill lands on the doormat, calls to Moscow calls to Mars.
You’d call the cavalry to save you, but you can’t afford the charge
Cut the wires ax the [pylons] Such fun to sabotage!
Attacking the phone again.
Attack your phone.
Take a cleaver to your receiver. Attack your phone.
Take the pliers to the wires. Attack your phone.
Attack attack attack attack attack
