[Verse 1]

I hate it when cables get tangled

For no reason at all

Can someone explain how all these wires in my box

Turned into a ball

Set one down, I leave and come back

It’s wrapped around another

I didn’t do anything and all of a sudden

Everything is tangled and I suffer


[Chorus]

I really hate tangled cables

I really hate tangled cables


[Verse 2]

I hate it when cables get tangled

Literally makes no sense

I tried my best to stay organized

But things get wrapped up in the end

I swear they have a mind of their own

They work exactly like vines

They start out spread apart

Next thing you know, they’re intertwined


[Chorus]

I really hate tangled cables

I really hate tangled cables

I don’t know how I got these tangled cables


[Interlude]

So, you ever notice that whenever you, like, pull on an extension cord or somethin’, it gets caught on another cable, and you start pullin’ a whole bunch of furniture [?], and things start falling over and you can’t control it and you start calling to the sky, “Why, why does this keep happening?!”


[Verse 2]

I’d love to take the time

To untangle them some afternoon

But that’s way too much fuckin’ work

So it ain’t gonna happen anytime soon


[Chorus]

I really hate tangled cables

I really hate tangled cables

I don’t know how I got these tangled cables

But seriously, how is behind my television and computer and stuff it’s just a bunch of tangled cables
