Letra de Supermarket Song
[Originally by Citizen Fish]In the shops and supermarket chains The check outs play that song again The notes ring in, ring out the change Laughing all the way To the stock exchangeThe music keeps us happy as we choose The products that we can't afford to use The tokens on the packets the percentages that drop And the ringing and the singing from the ceiling never stops"Buy the product and be free! Live a life of luxury!" And it says so on tv Every quarter of an hourConsuming all the facts Makes you feel you can relax Comes neatly wrapped in packs With ingredients on the backSo when you're sick From plastic snacks You'll know precisely whyWhile you uphold the megastores By/buy paying for what you cannot afford The man who runs the shop next door Remembers how it was beforeWhen personality meant something And customers would laugh with him They'd smile or nod as they came in And adverts didn't mean a thing!But now the supermarket chains Are around your neck and purse The sell the products to the strain Of some long-forgotten dirgeJust loud enough to wash away The headaches from outside Another shopping paradise Where god is on your sideThey channel mediocrity As life's essential quality You're buying two to get one free It's something that you'll never need But green and curiosity makes you consume And lets them feed
