 i'm going to the discount store
 yeah i'm going to the discount store
 can't afford what i used to afford and i hardly even noticed
 know this
 knowing that the world's an awful great big place
 and i am awful small
 it really shouldn't come as much of a surprise
 to find i don't really matter at all
 mom and dad don't let me waste your time
 mom and dad don't let me waste your time
 i know you've got to be at work by nine
 to keep food upon the platter
 mom and dad don't let me waste your time
 mom and dad don't let me waste your time
 i know you've got to be at work at nine
 as if it really mattered
 mattered
 mattered that the clock needs punching
 the man is watching
 and the union's gone for good
 with all this freedom how come there's no fun left in the neighborhood

 bummer
 bummer that the world's a great big awful place
 and frequently unfair
 it really shouldn't come as much of a surprise
 that there's just not enough to share
