lyrics

Give it up for Mr. P
brought home the bacon once again
won from a world of boys and men
he’s a winner just like me
champion of all I gaze upon
soon as I get my loafers on again
and it’s time to end the day
down at the place where victors go
down where there’s stores and picture shows
just a raven’s throw away
nobody in control but you
free to do what you’re told to do again
They’re taking me away from the mall
They’re dragging me away from the mall
don’t mourn for me
I bear it willingly
There are triangles and squares
everything there is optimized
there where they sell you shirts and ties
there are escalating stairs
you can buy anything you want
they’ve got a concrete elephant in there
You can sink into the crowds
you don’ t have to try to disappear
you can join with the atmosphere
and the ocean roars so loud
nobody in control but me
raging against the angry sea in there
they’re taking me away from the mall
they’re dragging me away from the mall
Just take my money
Please take my money
they’re taking me away from the mall
they’re dragging me away from the mall
(Nordstrom, shoe rack, dress barn, claire’s
PacSun, macy’s, ball pit, stairs
aeropostale, Spencer gifts
orange julius, country’s best yogurt)
