lyrics

it's a dry heat!
quit everything, do nothing
"America's in retrograde" on a protest sign
it's a bad wig, but you didn't need that money anyway
$20 in the ATM and there's a $3 fee

you sound good when you're screaming
you don't need to dress up
it's laundry day anyway and you can wear what you're wearing
you can't cover late capitalism over with makeup any more
plus you're richer than God, and more handsome

too good to work in a business
too good to work for anyone

nice town, a lot of anarchists
we're taking two of everything at the 7-11
nice town and it will end like this
the green juice is free now

so you think you're better than us now
because you work for a major corporation
but the truth is you'll never be as good as us
because we are so much smarter and care way more

you're not until you are! you don't need directions!
you're not saving power, you're just wasting paper towels!
we don't have to march long: just until we're over injustice, patriarchy, and American imperialism!

too good to work in a business
too good to work for anyone

nice town, a lot of anarchists
we're taking two of everything at the 7-11
nice town and it will end like this
the green juice is free now
is free now
