The China Shuffle (Dept. Store Blues)

Posted in Made in China, Rock 'n' Roll at 11:40 am by George Smith

This was written for La Puta, slated for later in the week. But I’ve moved the tune up as a teaser. It fits the leaden Made In China green reusable grocery bags story perfectly.

The China Shuffle (Dept. Store Blues) — here.

Go to neighbor store
Buy stuff for the poor
Socks, socks, socks with holes
Crap that’s full of mold

Go to Acme store
Buy stuff that falls apart
Toothpaste made of dirt
Pills to make your head hurt
Pills to make your head hurt
For the ladies, a cheap skirt

Now stores all full of shit
All made with plastic bits
Wigs all full of lead
Things to make you piss red
Socks, socks, socks with holes
Socks, socks full of holes
All things now with mold
Socks, socks, socks with holes
All things now full of mold
Toothpaste made of dirt
They also make black T-shirts
Toothpaste full of dirt
Pills to make your head hurt

Built off a ZZ Top “TV Dinners-esque” sequence.
