Junkmail

Words and music © 1982 by Joe Monzo


I wanted to write a heavy-metal pop song. What better subject over which to loudly express my frustration than junkmail?


        Every day when I get in
        I go to see what the mailman brings
        I wait for letters and other good things
        but I'm always disappointed
        'cause all I ever get is...


        Junkmail!
        Junkmail!
        Junkmail!
        Junkmail!


        I got friends from near and far
        I call 'em up and tell 'em "send a postcard"
        so I can see what it's like where they are
        but I'm always disappointed
        'cause all I ever get is...


        Junkmail!
        Junkmail!
        Junkmail!
        Junkmail!


        When I'm drivin', I go for the thrills
        and that's raisin' my insurance bill
        so I keep lookin' for my uncle's will
        but I'm always disappointed
        'cause all I ever get is...


        Junkmail!
        Junkmail!
        Junkmail!
        Junkmail!

  • If you have an opinion about this song or you'd like to record it, let me know.

  • If you like stuff that's more intellectual, I've written a book.
