Before the printer ran out of ink I was fine
But now I gotta step into the big consumer line
No Ma & Pa's left to help me out
CompUSA was the only choice left around
"I need another cartridge for my printer,"
I told Smiles behind the counter
They were happy to sell me my new component
Because it meant they had run out of town all of their opponents
I came back a week later wondering where to complain
"Your guy sold me the wrong size," I tried to explain
"No problem, you can just exchange it
We'll just charge you an extra 15%."
A minute later the manager and I had a little chat
Unyielding, he recited policy
Repealing, I blamed his company
And then jumped back in my car
I tore out of the lot
Still pissed at the treatment that I got
No regard for other drivers
Driving home my knuckles got whiter
Venting myself on other drivers
Road rage was suddenly less ridiculous
It was almost an excuse!
Soon my thoughts moved to the rest of the world
All beheaded by the same profit-driven sword
The unseen hands that ruin our lands
Were now making me drive like a jerk
You'd think some big mega-shop
Would have the leniency to bend?!
Is there any worse feeling
Than being taken by The Man?
Is there anything more invigorating
Than being reamed by some big faceless scam?
(phone company.DMV.school system.)
For everyone unjustly ripped off
Or taken advantage of by some big, corporate scoff
(here's the real message, sing along!) f** The Man! Woohoo!
There's a million+ examples
Why big business's are a**holes
But it never quite resounds
Until they screw you personally
Don'twait till then
