about

A self descriptive song about being freed from the evil clutches of Retail Employment. From Sci-Fried's album "Co-Op Mode", available here: sci-fried.bandcamp.com/album/co-op-mode-2012

lyrics

No Sulfur and Brimstone, No Sea of Flame
Hell Is Working a Register for minimum wage
Where folks that can't even read, or count without hands and feet
think they can talk down to me, 'cause i'm a retail employee
push the rock up the hill as the day crawls by
with sale items and dignity in short supply
I don't want to sound needy and I'm not being greedy
But if you buy our CD's, We can end this all today

Chorus:
Watch My soul get drained, for so little pay
day in and day out, Get me outta retail
Want more songs you say?
Well I can't today
Man, i'm begging you, Get me outta retail
Watch My soul get drained, for so little pay
day in and day out, Get me outta retail
Want more songs you say?
Well I can't today
Man, i'm begging you, Get me outta retail

I Hate people now, I used to Love 'em so
and I curse whoever thought up that coupon show
Back when I was a teen I thirsted for anarchy
and now this job makes me see that i was probably right.
I'm sure this jobs holding out on worker benefits
my life's so much like 'clerks' I'm getting sued by Smith
A bullet shield for complaints, it's hard to practice restraint
It seems my only escape is people paying for this song

Repeat Chorus

Another Day another dollar, working retail once more
I'm covering the store , Boss is lounging on the shore
it's such a tragedy what is happening to me,
been doin price changes since a quarter past three
It's now 1am and i'm still changin them
Keepin me here all night has got to be a sin
But there's no overtime and i'm overworked
gotta pick up the slack for the rest of these jerks
I'm helping all the customers while on the sales floor
if one walks out the door i'll be fired for sure
but there's no one here to help me, I do it all myself
Curse the boss under my breath as i restock the shelves
This is bad for my health, why do I do this anyway?
Oh yeah, That's right, my Rap career doesn't pay
Swear i'll get a real job, never work retail again
but like Godfather 3, They keep pulling me back in

Repeat Chorus x2
