andy ditzler - another customer lyrics
had this dream the other night
i was on the phone
i was on hold and they kept saying
“y’know, we’re really glad you called
but, at the moment
we’re helping
we’re helping
we’re helping
another customer
who wants what you want
who wants what you want”
i’m patient, i’ll wait
through the hits of the seventies
through the sonic amenities
like a mental vacation.
despite my reservations
i had to admit
they had it going on and all
billy joel, elton john and all
but once a minute
comes that wake up call
“we’re helping
we’re helping
we’re helping
another customer
who wants what you want
who wants what you want”
and i thought of that monk
who i saw at the zen centre
he seemed so centred
so i raised my hand
and asked him what to do.
about all the compet-tion
and how to raise comp-ssion
in american fashion
and he said, get to work
sit on that cushion
and think of someone you love
someone special to you
could be your mom, could be your dad,
a president hopeful or a monk from dharamshala
think of how much they want
to be free from suffering, happy
they’re just like you
they’re just someone you love
and think of someone neutral
someone you don’t know
could be your mom, could be your dad,
a president hopeful or a monk from dharamshala
think of how much they want
to be free from suffering, happy
they’re just like you
they’re just someone neutral
and think of someone you hate
someone who you just can’t stand
could be your mom, could be your dad
a president hopeful or a monk from dharamshala
think of how much they want
to be free from suffering, happy
they’re just like you
they’re just someone you hate
da da da, da da da
da da da, da da da
could be your mom, could be your dad
a president hopeful or a monk from dharamshala
da da da, da da da
da da da, da da da
happy, they’re just like you
they’re just someone you love
(you)
da (are calling) da da, da da da (the number)
da da da, da da da
could be your mom, could be your dad
(your expected waiting time is)
a president hopeful or a monk from dharamshala
(don’t change it[?])
da da da, da da da
(don’t, don’t risk it[?])
da da da, da da da
happy, they’re just like you
they’re just someone you love
nice lady
came on the line and said
“can i help you?”
and i said
“who is that other customer
who wants what i want?
are you as tired as i am
of conflicting dualities?
is there an alternative
to opposing realities?
is there enough of what we want
for both of us, can you tell me?
what is it that i want?”
and she said:
“hold on
we’re helping
we’re helping
we’re helping
another customer
we’re helping another

who wants what you want
(please all available cashiers on ’09)
