Panic in the Supermarket

lyrics

PANIC IN THE SUPERMARKET

She got a basket- she got to fill it
Picking up a can of beans
Imagining herself in a movie scene
A random fluctuation
Background music hesitation
Tape chewed up! It's panic station
Consumerist disintegration

I won't buy this cos I don't need it!
I won't buy this! I cannot afford it!
I can't stay in- but where's the exit?
Wide awake it's automatic panic in the supermarket

She got a ticket but she can't use it
Offer ends in twenty minutes
No ID and needs to prove it
Check-out full of cheque-card carriers
Barges through the human barrier
"Let me through I'm in a hurry"
Store detectives in a flurry

Don't let her out! She hasn't bought it
Don't let her shout! Just keep her quiet
What happens now? The price is riot
Someone pulls an automatic panic in the supermarket

She got a bullet with no name on it
It was generic it hit her wallet
Got compensation, a month of credit
And someone fixed the tape machine
To keep the shoppers in a dream
No-one recalled the shooting thing
Til they put it in a magazine
You must buy this! You won't believe it!
You can't resist! is how they feed it
Just one more thing- top up your basket
Impulse buy on automatic panic in the supermarket
