I Can'T Get Through

I’m SO a genius, a genius he said..
We’ll have them going out of their heads.

If they cant find a live person to talk
Perhaps they will eventually just take a walk.

            
Push one for English” will do for a start
How about 25 options..man this is so smart.

Confusion, delusion, anxiety will rule
Blood pressure increasing.. hard to keep cool.

"To return to the main menu,,press one"
Can’t remember when I’ve had so much fun.
  
Lets try “Your call is very important to us.”
I wish I could hear them as they start to cuss.

If only they knew that no one is there
Now..”whats your business?” we really don’t care.
