Your Warranty Is Expiring

For the last fifteen years, I’ve gotten red in the face 
I could scream bloody murder every time I get it
I can’t believe that our congress can’t pass a law
to throw these people in jail if they don’t quit it

I have tried many times to call someone about it
but it seems to be useless and to no avail
I’m talking about how every day I get bombarded
with a never-ending supply of junk mail

These past few years there’s been one consolation 
at least we will no longer have to kill a tree
Because now with just a push of one tiny button 
they can send their junk to a million people like me

So now I get texts and calls on my cell phone
people wanting to be my Facebook friend 
So many fake e-mails, click baits and phishing
I guess there will never be an end

If I don’t act right now I will lose my chance
to get my auto warranty renewed today
My Social Security has been compromised
give us your bank account and get this grant right away 

Foreclosure scams, identity theft, 
let me do your taxes for you
I’ve grown bald from pulling my hair out
I just don’t know what a person is to do

But I guess what amazes me the most
is no matter how many times we are warned about it
There are people in the world so gullible
that they will still fall for all their 

Hey man I’ve just won the lottery
they’ll deposit into my account right quick
I’ve been asked to donate to some fake charity
so many times, it’s enough to make me sick

Now, if I get a phone call, I don't even answer it. I assume that everything is fake. I tell my wife, if it's important, they'll leave a message.
