[Verse]
Had this dream the other night
I was on the phone
I was on hold, and they kept saying
"Y'know, we're really glad you called
But, at the moment
[Chorus]
We're helping
We're helping
We're helping
Another customer
Who wants what you want
Who wants what you want."
[Verse]
I'm patient, I'll wait
Through the hits of the seventies
Through the sonic amenities
Like a mental vacation
Despite my reservations
[Verse]
I had to admit
They had it going on and all
Billy Joel, Elton John and all
But once a minute
Comes that wake-up call
[Chorus]
We're helping
We're helping
We're helping
Another customer
Who wants what you want
Who wants what you want
[Verse]
And I thought of that monk
Who I saw at the zen center
He seemed so centered
So I raised my hand
And asked him what to do
[Verse]
About all the competition
And how to raise compassion
In American fashion
And he said, get to work
Sit on that cushion
[Verse]
And think of someone you love
Someone special to you
Could be your mom, could be your dad
A president, pope, or a monk from Dharamshala
[Verse]
Think of how much they want
To be free from suffering, happy
They're just like you
They're just someone you love
[Verse]
Now, think of someone neutral
Someone who you don't know well
Could be your mom, could be your dad
A president, pope, or a monk from Dharamshala
[Verse]
Think of how much they want
To be free from suffering, happy
They're just like you
They're just someone neutral
[Verse]
And now, think of someone you hate
Someone who you just can't stand
Could be your mom, could be your dad
A president, pope, or a monk from Dharamshala
[Verse]
Think of how much they want
To be free from suffering
Happy, they're just like you
They're just someone you hate
[Verse]
Da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da
Could be your mom, could be your dad
A president, pope, or a monk from Dharamshala
[Verse]
Da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da
Happy, they're just like you
They're just the someone you love
[Verse]
Da da da, da da da (You, are calling, the number)
Da da da, da da da
Could be your mom, could be your dad (Your expected waiting time is)
A president, pope, or a monk from Dharamshala
[Verse]
Da da da, da da da (Don't, change it)
Da da da, da da da
Happy, they're just like you (Don't, don't waste, my time)
They're just someone you hate
[Verse]
Nice lady, came on the line and said
"Can I help you?"
And I said, "Who is that other customer?
Who wants what I want?
[Verse]
Are you as tired as I am
Of conflicting dualities?
Is there an alternative
To opposing realities?
[Verse]
Is there enough of what we want
For both of us, can you tell me?
What is it that I want?"
And she said, "Hold on"
