lyrics

I Am Not the Expert

In the morning I wake up
But I don't want to wake up
I check the answering machine to see if any clients called
As it turns out, I'm in demand
A therapists' therapist
But is there anyone when I'm all alone to try and sympathize?
Don't you roll your eyes

CHORUS:
I am not the expert
That you think I am
You ask me all sorts of questions
But I'm doing the best that I can

In the afternoon I have
A thousand appointments, it seems
Give or take a few after a while
They all start to sound the same

"I hate my childhood," "My life's a wreck,"
"My wife won't take me back"
It sounds pathetic, but then I can relate
It seems as though they read my mind

In the evening I come home
And drink myself to sleep
All of the self-help books that I have written don't help me at all
But I'm always on call

CHORUS:
I am not the expert
That you think I am
You ask me all sorts of questions
But I'm doing the best that I can

6x:
It's getting to the point
Where I can tolerate myself

CHORUS:
I am not the expert
That you think I am
You ask me all sorts of questions
But I'm doing the best that I can

The Telethons Brooklyn, New York

The Telethons have existed in some form since 2004. They originally started as an antifolk-inspired duo in Flanders, NJ consisting of John Mulcahy (guitar/vocals) and Mark Deocampo (drums, yelling). After Deocampo's departure in 2009, the Telethons evolved into a power rock trio with the addition of John Van Atta (bass/vocals) and Doug Johnson (drums, yelling). ... more
