The Lyrics

Serfin' USA

This "everyman" had him a notion,
Down south, Arkansas way.
That he could resurrect serfin'
And give folks real low pay.
Well, Sam has long since been planted.
Now a scandal's abrew:
His pushy company's heir to
Serfin' USA.

They got 'em serfin', all over.
Near many county lines,
You can see Walmarts nestled.
The wage scale ain't real fine.
They're movin' more crap in;
They can afford bribes to pay.

Meanwhile workers are serfin',
Serfin' USA.

The taxpayers have to foot
Bills. . .emergency rooms.
They get taxed across the board,
'Cause there ain't no unions.
Means lousy medical cov'rage.
Which means everyone else pays
For the folks they got serfin',
Serfin' USA.

Hated they be some places,
But many pals they've made.
Call the workers "associates,"
But give 'em low-grade wage.
All over like roaches�
This is retail's new way.

If you work there, you're serfin',
Serfin' USA.

Great job, JB. 5's...You know I had the same title and idea back last year right after I started posting here, but I didn't think to connect it to Wal-Mart (or any particular corporation) and I couldn't move it back a good sounding, well-paced 1st verse. Then I forgot about it. This makes me wish I hadn't forgotten about. You did some nice stuff with it.

Whoo-hoo! (~Stomps feet, pumps fist~) I tried to give you tens but some silly smiley-faced creature rolled them back to fives. Stupid Mall-Wart.

555, great job, but I wish you had included the "Inside, outside, U.S.A." parts too!

Excellent! Walmart could not get away with it if it weren't for a country full of bargain conscious consumers... my significant-other-in-law took a bus all the way across town to Walmart to save $1.50 on doggie biscuits that could have been bought at the market right up the street... :-P
