vanwyck - supermarket line lyrics
songtekst van vanwyck – “supermarket line”
[verse 1]
they’re making babies on the television
i can see the bombs dropping in the intermission
someone tries to sell me a new lipgloss
and i’m waiting in the supermarket line
the alcoholic in front of me buys a salad
to go with his bottle of red
and the two beers that he needs early in the morning
before the supermarket line
i am thinking ’bout my baby’s need to hurry home
and maybe, fix them something fast to eat
and i could get the neighbors
need a hand with the trash can
in the supermarket line
[chorus]
and the candy wrappers shine like jewels
but you don’t notice anymore
and momma said, “there ain’t nothing to it
these are the ways, my girl
these are the ways of the world
there ain’t nothing you can do about it, girl
watch it burn, bust and go up in smoke
while the incomer makes another joke
[verse 2]
the cashier winks at me because the alcoholic forgot his change
and as we both call him he turns around
and says he’s sorry to the supermarket line
i mimic, “that’s okay, not in a hurry anyway”
while the students behind me keep on discussing
how to best get to the party
after the supermarket line
[chorus]
and the candy wrappers shine like jewels
but you don’t notice anymore
and momma said, “there ain’t nothing to it
these are the ways, my girl
these are the ways of the world
there ain’t nothing you can do about it, girl
watch it burn, bust and go up in smoke
while the incomer makes another joke
[outro]
while the incomer makes another joke
while the incomer makes another joke
