Retail Supernova

Aisles and aisles of useless shit
To fill the void of this emptiness
Tools for this and sales on that
Who convinced me I needed it?

I got bags and bags at the register
My bank account never needed ya
Strip mall takes the shirt off my back
When did the man start the corporate attack?

It’s a fake trip and we go it alone
It’s a lifestyle that we’re dependent on
It’s a money game that is making us poor
It’s a supernova and it’s gonna explode

I see a Mum with a kid on her arm
The trolleys full and he’s raised the alarm
It’s in his eyes that he needs it all
Run for cover there’s a shopping bomb

Plastic needs ain’t fulfilling at all
Drown the fat cats over the falls
Kill the malls, yeah let’s help mum and pa
And take it back for the common ones

It’s a fake trip and we go it alone
It’s a lifestyle that we’re dependent on
It’s a money game that is making us poor
It’s a supernova and it’s gonna explode
