The Writing on the Wall - Mart

THE WRITING ON THE WALL - MART

OH, SAY CAN YOU SEE?
CAN YOU SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL - MART?




VERSE 1.
SHOPPING AT THE WAL-MART
PUSHING ON MY SHOPPING CART
SHOPPING AT THE WAL-MART
ANY TIME OF DAY

CHECKING OUT THE MERCHANDISE
IN A SHOPPER'S PARADISE
HOW MUCH IS MANUFACTURED BY THE U.S.A.?

VERSE 2.
WAL-MART SYMBOLIZES
RETAIL ENTERPRISES
SATISFYING POPULAR
CONSUMER DEMANDS

THIS IS NOT THE ONLY STORE
I CAN SHOP IN STORES GALORE
BUT IT'S HARD TO FIND ANY AMERICAN BRANDS
HARDER EVERY DAY TO FIND AMERICAN BRANDS




BRIDGE 1 :
CAN'T YOU READ THE WRITING ON THE WAL-MART?
CALLING YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
YOU WERE SURE OF YOUR JOB
IT WAS A SECURE JOB
NOW THAT JOB IS GOING OVERSEAS!

BRIDGE 2:
NO! YOU CANNOT BLAME IT ON THE WAL-MART
IT'S JUST ONE DEPARTMENT STORE
AMERICA'S COMPETITORS
ARE CALCULATING PREDATORS
WE DON'T OWN OUR COUNTRY ANYMORE!

VERSE 3:
SEARCH IN ANY SHOPPING MALL
FOREIGN STUFF FROM WALL TO WALL
WITNESS A PHENOMENON, SAD AND STRANGE

WE NEED LEADERS WHO CAN SEE
FREE TRADE ISN'T REALLY FREE!
SOMETHING HAS TO TURN AROUND
SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE
CAN'T YOU READ THE WRITING ON THE WALL - MART?




VERSE 4:
WHAT IS TO BECOME OF US?
WHY ARE WE OBLIVIOUS?
SPIRALING DOWN AND OUT OF CONTROL

BETTER START YELLING OUT,
"AMERICA IS SELLING OUT,
FACTORIES, INDUSTRIES,
HEART AND SOUL! "

OH, SAY CAN'T YOU SEE?
CAN'T YOU SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL - MART?

The Wal-mart stores around my area have jacked up their prices. Fruit has nearly doubled in price, veggies are of poor quality & half as much more than Albertson's or Kroger's stores around me plus they get repeatedly busted for hiring illegals from Mexico. Sam Walton was a good man with a vision but his children are idiots running the worst okey-doke on the American ppl.

@TheTankinTortuga You know the economy is bad when even foreign products made at slave's wages are getting to be unaffordable.

Buy American or don't complain.

[economyincrisis]

@bertly71 Well Said!!!

[definemaybe]

Thank Reaganomics

[LynnGryphon]

Walmart was bad enough but since the remodels they've started going under they have gotten rid of half the selection they used to have in order to stock name brands that cost twice as much as the stuff they got rid of. Its supposed to be the one stop shop for the middle class families but that philosophy died with Sam Walton. I'm with TankinTortuga, the kids are morons.

@economyincrisis Thanks, seems like common sense to me.

[mbabist01]

@TheTankinTortuga They are also the ones screwing the employees.

[TheTankinTortuga]

@economyincrisis

Amen to that!

[bertly71]

@mbabist01 That is one very good point.

[mbabist01]

@bertly71 Agreed! At least the ammo is Made in U.S.A.!
