about

What do we want?!
Different Stars!!
When do we want them?!
Today!!
water on stone
over and over
no planets left on which every hand that feeds us
is itself fed
and well

lyrics

Party’s going swell
You’re out of beer and you decide to get some
The cheapest place for beer
Is at your local corporate supermarket store
It’s a dollar more at the mom and pop store
But it’s a dollar much better spent
Cuz corporate owns the real estate
And they just raised old mom and pop’s rent

I don’t want to buy all of that crap
And I don’t want the plastic in which its wrapped
And I don’t want to break the great retail strike
I’m gonna go some other way

Other than the safe say
There is a better way
Let’s go some other way

Against my advice you’re in the corporate store
And you’re heading straight for
Where they keep the beer
They sucker you into buying chips and other expensive stuff
Before you’re anywhere near
They think we’re stupid so they put up all those
Dumb and ugly advertising signs
Sure you’ve got a choice but they make sure its them that you choose
Everytime

I don’t want to buy all of that crap
And I don’t want the plastic in which its wrapped
And I don’t want to break the great retail strike
I’m gonna go some other way
