Checkout Line Psychotic
I'm fine thanks
just a little tired
I won't give you the slightest
warning
when you scream into my face
when I feel your
hatred
spray my cheek
I'll break your face
with my forehead
then make you beg
to keep your life
Plastic please
not paper
woman or man young or old
it doesn't matter
who or what you are
or where it is
if you slap me across the face
in all the world there'll be no place
where you can hide
from my vengeance
no price checks thanks
if it's not barcoded
I don't want it
And do not think for one
moment that the
revenge
I take would in any way
be limited to you
for I leave no enemies at my back
no siblings parents spouse or children
that could grow
into another threat
Is that on sale?
I thought it was
All will
die
homes burned
businesses gone
lives erased
your family
reduced
to battered corpses
rotting in the sun
it's buy one
get one free
So the next time you want to
rage
at strangers in
the checkout line think twice
the next time you
threaten
harm or death to innocents
buying groceries
think carefully
really
very
carefully
because next time
the citizen that
you're trying to intimidate
just might be me
Yeah honey...
that's credit
not debit
