lyrics

Sippin’ coffee through a Styrofoam cup that’s my boss Ruth. Tammy in Softlines leans over the table and says, “hey, you wanna know the truth? Ron in hardware might get fired for fuckin’ up the inventory, but don’t tell know nobody and you certainly didn’t hear it from me.” Michael Hosey’s always getting paged on the intercom. And Ana in Toys well you know she ain’t never done nothing wrong. They’re having a Rollback Sale on Mexican Onyx. And I have to laugh when I hear Kim from Taiwan saying, “ElecTWONics.” And I’m hung over in the Wal-Mart breakroom. Well, I’ve got ten minutes and I’ve gotta be back on the floor soon. Oh but I’ve got an idea I know what I’ll do. I’ll head off to the back and I’ll stack a bunch of boxes. Make myself a fort I’m as sly as a fox is. Then I’ll lie down. Try and take a nap. Wake up in an hour when I don’t feel like crap. And they’ll think I’m working just as long as they don’t find me. They’ll think I’m working just as long as they don’t find me in the Wal-Mart breakroom. Christy she’s in high school and works the front registers. You can find her in the breakroom when those customers get on her nerves. She says, “That’s alright, my boyfriend will be here soon, and this place it will be old news.” But she turns away when I ask her, “How did you get that bruise?” And Eunice wears daisy duke shorts and she goes to country bars. She’s a boot scootin’ granny and she’s dating a young buck by the name of Lars. Someday she’d like to manage the shoe department. But unless Ruth dies well she really don’t stand a chance for it.
