The first single from our upcoming EP 'EAT GLASS' due out in December 2021

lyrics

ATTENTION SHOPPERS!
The Blue Light's on...
Your stimulus check showed up and your tax returns are gone
Tax returns are gone...

Well I lost my job today
Retail therapy is the way
C'mon its not that hard..
Break out your MasterCard!

Because the sign says made in the U-S-ay-ay-ay
Just ask the kids in Bombay
Well I'm gonna load up my plastic cart...
With a bunch of crackpot art

We got everything you need...
Lowest prices guaranteed
Put it all in a plastic bag...
Bottom blows out, man what a drag

Well I head out to the parking lot
Some MAGA wants my spot well I
Locked the keys in the trunk of my ca-a-ar
GUESS I'M NOT GONNA GET TOO FAR!

'Shopping Karma' really chaps my ass...
Cut up your credit cards and buy a bag of grass...
Smoke a bag of gra-a-a-ass

Universal remote contro-o-o-ol
Don't forget the Tidy-bowl, no no no no...
Pot holders on aisle nine...
Mascara and CHEAP RED WINE!

You know the sign says made in the U-S-ay-ay-ay
Just ask the kids in Bombay
Well I'm gonna load up my plastic cart...
With a bunch of crackpot art

They say give us everything you need
Lowest prices guaranteed
Put it all in a plastic bag...
Bottom blows out, man what a drag

Well I head out to the parking lot
Some MAGA wants my spot well I
Locked the keys in the trunk of my ca-a-ar
GUESS I'M NOT GONNA GET TOO FAR!
