LYRICS
I tried dialing “Operator”
A message said, “Try (again) later”
Hey! What am I suppose to do
If I can’t get through?
I tried dialing “9-1-1”
They said, “We can’t help you… none.”
Guess it’s nothing new
Society’s point-of-view
Operator! The Creator
Separator — wheat from chaff
Alienator — frown from laugh

After a conversation with my son about Richard Dawkins, I pondered on the obsolescence of a Great Operator. Songs like the Black Keys’ Little Black Submarines and Pink Floyd’s Young Lust refer to a telephone operator. Will people know what they are talking about now that phone operators are obsolete? Does the same hold true for the concept of God?
