matt the electrician - for angela lyrics

[intro]
dear customer complaint department
i have nothing to complain about
in fact, i have nothing but good things
to say about your company today

[verse 1]
let me begin by saying
normally i avoid your store like the plague
but recently on a drive to dallas
my car broke down on the side of the road
in west, texas, not the direction but the town called west
it was the battery, i got a jumpstart for free with my aaa card

[verse 2]
but the local mom and pop garage
were unfortunately unable to assuage
my electrical conundrum cus my car is not american made
so, still running from my earlier jumpstart
i drovе on down the road for the first time in my lifе
praying that i’d see a wal+mart

[verse 3]
now, normally your store is like a virus
like miley cyrus in a teen magazine
every five miles on the road
like a toad, a monstrous amphibian on the horizon
entirely blocking out the sun
[verse 4]
but today, murphy’s law was riding shotgun
i didn’t see one for 47.5 miles
and as i drove into lancaster, texas
an alabaster albatross rose out of the darkness
and i cried tears of joy as i drove around the back
to the tire and lube garage

[verse 5]
and i jumped out with my car still running
i asked a jumpsuit employee if he could change my battery
but he didn’t have a smile for me, he said “45 minute wait”
but in 45 minutes i was going to be late
to my very first show at uncle calvin’s coffee house
at a church, in north east dallas

[verse 6]
so i stood out in the late afternoon sun
on the hot asphalt, my car continued to run
and i thought “his is the end of the line”
i was running out of gas and running out of time
figuring i’d finish my days in a wal+mart parking lot
in a heatstroke case

[verse 7]
when an angel appeared at my side
and her name tag read “angela,” she had pity in her eyes
she said “pull into bay #2, and pop your hood and i’ll see what i can do”
and she examined the dimensions of my battery
said “yeah, i think we have that, i’ll go get it for you”
and the sun began to feel like my friend
[verse 8]
and when she returned she had tools to lend
and angela and i worked side+by+side
as if we worked together since the dawn of time
five minutes later, when i tried to pay her
she said “pay for the battery, but you don’t owe me anything”
as i turn to leave, she said “write a letter to wal+mart
tell them what you think of me”

[outro]
so dear customer complaint department
i have nothing to complain about
in fact, i have nothing but good things to say
please pass on my thanks to angela today
and you should give her a raise
and let her unionize!
sincerely
matt
