A song about an imaginary place where capitalism has no effect. It is kind of the bookend to American Dream Town.
lyrics
I've been tired from wasting all this time
I've been tired from never ever stoppin'
But I will just cut another line
There will never be an end to all this poppin'
These pills that come in red, white and blue
They're made to keep folks like me and you
From thinkin' too much about the way
They never mean a goddamn thing they say
Come and get me Uncle Sam
Come and get me big blue
Come and get me Little Bo Peep
I've lost my tail feathers, too
Hey, sorry, we're closed for the year
It's winter now and there's nobody here
Check back in six months my dear
Cuz sorry but we're closed for the year
I was feeling a bit moby that day
What I really needed was a good night's sleep
But I climbed out of bed climbed into my Toy-o-tay
Started the engine and pulled into the street
Lit up a smoke, took a drag, felt suddenly young
Lit up down the road towards the setting sun
Next morning pulled up to this store
Read the words no one could ever ignore
