Replacements - Answering Machine lyrics

One, two, three, four Try to breathe some life into a letter Losing hope, never gonna be together My courage is at it's peak You know what I mean How do say you're O.K. to An answering machine? How do you say good night to An answering machine? Big town's got its losers Small town's got its vices A handful of friends One needs a match, one needs some ice Call-waiting phone in another time zone How do you say I miss you to An answering machine? How do say good night to An answering machine? I get enough of that Try to free a slave of ignorance Try and teach a who*e about romance How do you say I miss you to An answering machine? How do you say good night to An answering machine? How do you say I'm lonely to An answering machine? The message is very plain Oh, I hate your answering machine I hate your answering machine I hate your answering machine...
