i hate the grocery store

i hate the grocery store
grocery shoppin'
is such a bore
it makes me hoppin'
MAD! CRAZY!

now i ain't lazy
and i ain't too hazy
but what's the deal
with these grocery stores?
come on get Real!
open your eyes 'fore ya' open them doors
quit bein' such whores

just when i think i Know
where everything is
they go
and change
re-Arrange
gee whiz ain't it strange
you'd think they'd want ya' ta' find
whatever it is 'twas on your mind
or list
man, can i get pissed

ok, i been shoppin' here
for a year
oh dear
where did the bread go
hell, i don't know
and what about them eggs
hey buddy, use your legs

make any sense to you
what they do?
put the pots & pans
with all them cans
i buy
but why?

SIMPLIFY! SIMPLIFY!

and then there's them checkers
the hunt-n-peckers
they be so slow
God only knows
where they grows

one item at a time
when the scanners made to take 9
and sackers
the break my backers
10 lanes open & 3 slackers

tryin' ta stuff it in
those plastic bags
the ones that sags
& tears apart
get smart
at least don't tie it end-ta-end

but i guess they got us
makes us wanna' cuss
and fume
to resume
fasting
lasting
without food
but that ain't no good
gotta' eat
so they got us beat

i hate the grocery store
it's such a bore
wish i didn't have ta' do it
wish there was more to it
least 'till i got 'roundtuit

no shit!
they got us beat
we gotta' eat

but damn them grocery stores
wish there was mores
than them damn bores
them f**kin 2$$$ whores

Very true. Also very apt. There's never anything simple about grocery stores. Doncha know they're designed to make you walk the whole store just to find one item?
