Supermarket Blues Lyrics by Eugene McDaniels

Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse

0

[Verse 1]
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, uh-huh"
Just then the supermarket manager hit me from behind
Brought me to my knees, y'all
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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"
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
