***** Lyrics: (Mom and Pop Stores
Walmart has shut my doors right down
Nobody ever comes around
My deals just can’t compete with them
Cause I don’t believe in working children

My life was all about the store
The Big Box has made it impossible
The shareholders praise their new cash cow
while my dreams they get snuffed out.

Their silly blue smocks
Have become our way of life
They greet you at the door
and treat you so nice
Without a thought we have cheated ourselves into this

The factories are slowly leaving town
The big money has gone and sold us out
One thing that we forgot to mention
Forget about your pensions
I’m so broke but the got the cheapest price
Stupid me cause I know this ain’t right
Without a thought we have cheated ourselves into this
Without a thought we don’t see how we played into this
