Joel Dorn - Supermarket Blues lyrics

Strolled up to the counter Slammed my hand down on the cashier And said, 'scuse me, please But I bought this can of pineapple The other day When I got it home It was a can of peas, goddamn If I'd wanted those I'd picked my nose And thrown 'em in the back To the vegetable freezer Just then the supermarket manager Hit me from behind Brought me to my knees, y'all I got the supermarket blues And it's really much more Than I can ever use, yeah I got the supermarket blues If I could choose It's really them I'd like to lose When I came to Sirens were wailin' away When I touched my face my hand turned red As I struggled from the floor The crowd called out for more Some old lady Kicked me in the head, Goddamn "For God's sakes, lady I only wanna trade a can of peas For a lousy loaf of bread, uh huh" Just then a cop rushed in And joined the fun Threatened my life with some lead, y'all" I got the supermarket blues It's really much more Than I can ever use, yeah (yeah) I got the supermarket blues If I could choose It's really them I'd like to lose Vaguely remember rantin' and ravin' And quotin' my constitutional civil right I think I got one left, uh huh The old lady who kicked me in the head Called me a communist jerk And just generally got uptight, y'all She said, "How can a savage like you Know anything, boy You ain't even white!" Goddamn Really wish I'd stayed home And gotten high 'Stead of comin' into this street And havin' this awful fight Got the supermarket blues It's really much more Than I can ever use I got the supermarket blues If I could choose It's really them I'd like to lose I got the supermarket blues If I could choose It's really them I'd like to lose I got the supermarket blues If I could choose It's really them I'd like to lose I got the supermarket blues If I could choose It's really them I'd like to lose I have got the supermarket blues If I could choose It's really them I'd like to lose I got the supermarket blues If I could choose It's really them I'd like to lose
