Topic: "All This Stupid Stuff" my tribute to Wal-Mart
Yet another wild-eyed, full-frontal, folkie rant . . .
All This Stupid StuffJames McCormick, June 9, 2007
Twang & Howl, Stomp & Growl!
[G]All this stuff that is for sale, and none of it do I [C]need . . .
[C]Plastic crap that's [G]all shrink wrapped, and low-price guaran-[D]teed
[G]Miles of aisles with junk in piles, stacked up twelve feet [C]high . . .
Some-[C]body must actually [G]buy this stuff, but I [D]can't imagine [G]why
Con-[C]tainer ships from overseas, loaded to the [G]gills
[C]Full of crap that'll [G]never last, complete with extra [D]frills
My [G]happiness is elsewhere, it don't come from a [C]store . . .
[C]Lookin' at all this [G]stupid stuff [D]makes my brain so [G]sore
That [G]parking lot is so darn big, it needs its own zip [C]code . . .
Just [C]riding my bicycle [G]to this place was a scary epi-[D]sode
[G]Pick-ups, Hummers, and SUV's, and giant semi [C]trucks . . .
Un-[C]less your a-ridin' [G]in a tank, you're [D]just a sitting [C]duck
[C]Shopping carts two dozen deep, at thirty check-out [G]lines
The [C]scanners beep a [G]symphony in bright florescent [D]time
My [G]happiness is elsewhere, it don't come from a [C]store . . .
Just [C]lookin' at all this [G]stupid stuff [D]makes my brain so [G]sore
You can [G]save a penny, save a dime, they'll tell you what it's [C]worth . . .
But [C]if you want to save [G]something, please help save the [D]earth
[G]Simplify your lifestyle, use only what you [C]need . . .
The [C]biggest problem we [G]face today [D]is consumer [G]greed
Oh, [C]garbage in garbage out, refuse over-[G]flow
[C]All this stupid [G]stuff you got to the landfill it will [D]go
My [G]happiness is elsewhere, it don't come from a [C]store . . .
Oh, [C]lookin' at all this [G]stupid stuff [D]makes my head so [G]sore
