Price Tag

The bells go off

The buzzer coughs

The traffic starts to buzz

The clothes are stiff

The fabrics itch

The fit's a little rough

But I suck it in

To every stitch

Try to fit inside the glove

I scramble eggs

For little legs

The day's off in a rush

It's 9am

We must clock in

The system waits for us

I stock the shelves

I work the rows

The products all light up

If I could flip the switch

The system fix

I could move us to the top

The numbers roll

It's time to go

I'm never fast enough

We never really checked

We never really check the price tag

When the cost comes in

It's gonna be high

We love our bargains

We love the prices so low

With the good jobs gone

It's gone be raw

In the market

The kids are starving

They reach for the good stuff

Let's stay off the label

Just till we're able

To save a little up

The next big win

The ship comes in

No more worry for us

Just keep movie

The wheels keep turning

It's time to go pay up

I was lured by the devil

I was lured by the cause

I was lured by the fear

That all we had was lost

I was blind by the money

I was numb from the greed

I'll take God when I'm ready

I'll choose sin till I leave
