Lyrics

The US of Wal-Mart

We're living in the US of Wal Mart
There's one in every town
No need for local business
When they come around
Now our downtown's a ghost town

They've got a lot of what they've got
But not much selection
People are losing jobs but they don't make the connection
I lost mine too but that's OK 'cause Dubyah's got my praise
For standing up like a real man to those disgusting Gays

TVs blarin' people staring off into space
Shuffling while they push their carts in a consumptive haze
Seems like everythings's made in China these days
Or indonesia by indentured slaves

Bridge:
Game Boys 'n', rat poision, Stainless steel grilles
Ammo and cheap auto parts, Carter's Liver Pills
Chitterlings and candy, Nabisco, General Mills
All right there in your cart now don't you feel fulfilled?
Duct tape 'n' ice scrapers, makeup and hairspray
Fourty two kinds of chips, all by Frito Lay

We're living in the US of Wal Mart
Trading our freedom for a shopping cart
They've got everything you need
Except for dignity, here in the US, the US of Wal Mart
