Sleater-kinney - Price Tag lyrics

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 s** it in To every stitch Try to fit inside the glove I scrambled eggs For little legs The day's off in a rush It's 9 AM 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 But never fast enough We never really checked, we never checked 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 gonna be rough In the market The kids are starving They reach for the good stuff Let's stay off label Just 'til we're able To save a little up The next big win The ship comes in No more worry for us Just keep moving The wheels keep turning It's time to go pay up We never really checked, we never checked 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 gonna be rough I was lured by the devil, I was lured by the cost 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 We never really checked, we never checked 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 gonna be rough I was lured by the devil, I was lured by the cost 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
