cctv blues

(Verse 1) Well, I set up my CCTV, thought I’d catch all the bad guys, But now it’s just a paperweight, ain't no picture on the rise. I called up old Joe the sparky, said, “Come fix your mess,” But he just shrugged his shoulders, left me in distress. (Chorus) Now I’m stuck with the CCTV blues, A camera that won’t work, and a spark who won’t choose To take responsibility, oh what’s a man to do? I’m caught between a rock and a hard place, feeling kinda screwed. (Verse 2) Joe said, “It ain’t my problem, must be a faulty wire.” But every time I check it, I swear I see a fire. Called the customer service, they just put me on hold, Now I’m losing my patience, and my coffee’s gone cold. (Chorus) Now I’m stuck with the CCTV blues, A camera that won’t work, and a spark who won’t choose To take responsibility, oh what’s a man to do? I’m caught between a rock and a hard place, feeling kinda screwed. (Bridge) Well, I’d hire a detective, but they cost too much dough, And Joe just keeps on smilin’, says “Buddy, I told you so.” So I’m sittin’ on my porch, with a beer and a frown, Watchin’ nothin’ on my monitor, as the sun goes down. (Chorus) Yeah, I’m stuck with the CCTV blues, A camera that won’t work, and a spark who won’t choose To take responsibility, oh what’s a man to do? I’m caught between a rock and a hard place, feeling kinda screwed. (Outro) So here’s to all you folks out there, with tech that’s gone awry, May your cameras always capture, every sneaky passerby. But if you find yourself like me, with a sparky who won’t bend, Just grab yourself a cold one, and sing this song again.
