about

My tribute to the American consumer.

lyrics

The world is going to hell in a hand basket
The end is getting closer all the time
Nothing but bad news every night on the TV
I need a way to escape this reality
What can I do?

You got a shop `til you drop
There’s a rainbow of savings in every store
You got to shop `til you drop
There values are too big to ignore

Shop `til you drop, Want buy have
Shop `til you drop, Want buy have
It’s the American way

I love my credit cards like a ball and chain
Cell phone radiation rots away my brain
I got a microwave, computer, and a brand new car
These clothes I wear
Make me feel like a superstar

You got to shop `til you drop
We’ll put you in the driver’s seat
You got to shop `til you drop
Our low, low prices just can’t be beat

Shop `til you drop, Want buy have
Shop `til you drop, Want buy have
It’s the American way

I’m gonna ride off into the sunset in my SUV
To the manufactured land of opportunity
To my paradise, in suburban sprawl
Near the outlet stores and the super mall
The super mall

You got to shop `til you drop
Why wait when you can own it today?
You got to shop `til you drop
These lonely feelings just won’t go away

Shop `til you drop, Want buy have
Shop `til you drop, Want buy have
It’s the American way
