Inspired by my many years of working in retail. Still one of my favorites.
lyrics
Hello sir may I help you
Find something to buy
That you don't really need
Have you seen the latest tech
Can I offer you some over-priced
Accessory item
Buy this extended warranty
We'll laugh all the way to the bank you see
God I pray that one day
Every American will have everything
So we can close this store
And I'll never have to work here again
With nothing left to want
There'd be no more greed
I'd be a sales associate
Living an American Retail dream
American Retail dream
Stock these shelves
Sell this stuff
I'll be a model employee
And make them rich
And tomorrow I'll be here
Wearing my smile
While I clean up some kid's
Vomit in the aisle
Buy this extended warranty
Quality never was a guarantee
God I pray that one day
Every American would have everything
So we could close this store
And I'd never have to work here again
With nothing left to want
There'd be no more greed
I'd be a sales associate
Living an American Retail dream
American Retail dream
Black Friday 2004
I see the people waiting
Outside of the door
They're grasping for limited quantities
I see their tempers flair
As the stench of greed fills the air
It was Black Friday 2004
God I pray that one day
Every American would have everything
So we can close this store
And I'll never have to work here again
With nothing left to want
There'd be no more greed
I'd be a sales associate
Living an American Retail dream
American Retail dream
God I pray that one day
Every American would have everything
So we can close this store
And I'll never have to work here again
With nothing left to want
There'd be no more greed
I'd be a sales associate
Living an American Retail dream
American Retail dream
Living an American Retail dream
American Retail dream
