lyrics

Retail Therapy

Frenzal said it best when they said 'Working in retail sucks',
'Coz I've had it up to here with you poor, frivolous, dumb fucks,
I get asked the same questions almost every single day,
I should just put a sign on my chest that says 'please fucking go away!'

It could be a lot worse I know, than working in a shop,
I could be a nurse or in a hearse, or worse, a fucking cop!
Now I've had my fair share of copping shit and picking up the slack,
And selling shit to those who can't afford, "Would you like socks with that?"

Take your screaming child away from me,
Why do you take your kids on shopping sprees?!
Outdoor Retail's not the place to be,
If you hate dumb cunts just as much as me!

Every day the coffee shots are never less than two,
I need a coping mechanism to help you tie your fucking shoe,
You think you can wear that singlet in the snow and be alright?!
Just slap it on the AMEX, 'the customer is always right!'

"Do you have spare change for a Fifty?"
You're buying items worth $2.93!
"How long's the parking here for free?"
Braindead fucktards can get in the fucking sea!

"Oi over there can you help me? Oh I'm sorry to be such a pain,
But I need a pair of pants that won't get wet in the rain,
I've got big hips, small waist, fat knees and REALLY awkward thighs,
I can't wear green, nor blue, nor black, and I need them IN MY SIZE!"

Think I need a change of scenery,
Before I make a motherfucker bleed!
Wouldn't be here if not for the money,
Outdoor Retail is just not the place for me.
