Call Me With the News

'Til the world really goes up in smoke

Don't bother me

'Cause I have got the handle

On such a simple philosophy

Let someone else track down the clues

And call me with the news

Your solemn attitude

It don't bother me none

Take your time

Make up your mind if I'm really the one

Then you decide if I win or lose

And call me with the news

Call me with the news

My number's in the book

But if I'm not home

You can leave your message on the code-a-phone

And I'll get back to you soon, soon

As I get a chance

Well, the wise men

They come and go

Everybody's got a hook

But I don't need to lay my money down

To discover that I've been took

So when you find a truth I could use

You call me with the news

Call me with the news

Call me with the news

Call me with the news
