Death of a Telephone Salesman
Phone call after phone call
Sometimes begging for a sale
The man simply could not stay away from drugs
Gone now to the other side
After enjoying many`` highs
I continued to work there
Made plenty of sales
But eventually quit
Once a couple of us tried to unionize the place
We didn't do it
Death of a telephone salesman
Happens all too soon
In the field of telemarketing
Often too soon
