Big chains kill small businesses and wreak havoc on the economy we hold so dear.
lyrics
Hard pass on Mom and Pop to walk through sliding double-doors.
Oppression lines the shelves as big-box dollars tip the scales.
It's not alright.
Another one closed down today. "Free Market", "Democracy"
Buzzwords allow monopoly and lay way to bankruptcy.
How can you compete when the other guy cheats?
Generations look for work, as options become few and far
between these bogus fucking cogs, just multitudes of useless tools.
This is no grand prediction. Just casual observation.
I'm breaking my back to relate to playing fair, not legislate.
While I search for sympathy, Hugo Bosses piss on me.
And how can we compete when the hand that feeds over-eats?
Clearance racks filled with garbage made from tortured hands
worked into early graves.
Bottom bucks brought by slavery from foreign lands
just to throw it away.
