Peanut Butter Conspiracy |
| Lookin' back at my hard luck days |
| I really do have to laugh |
| Workin' in a dive for twenty-six dollars |
| Spendin' it all on draft |
| We were hungry hard luck heroes |
| Tryin' just to stay alive |
| So we’d go down to the corner grocery |
| This is how we’d survive. |
| Who’s gonna steal the peanut butter |
| I’ll get a can of sardines |
| Runnin' up and down the aisles of the Mini-Mart |
| Stickin' food in our jeans |
| We never took more than we could eat |
| There was plenty left on the racks |
| We all swore if we ever got rich |
| We would pay the Mini-Mart back |
| Yes Sir, yes Sir |
| We would pay the Mini-Mart back. |
| It was a two man operation |
| Had it all down on a note |
| Ricky would watch the big round mirror |
| And I’d fill up my coat |
| Then we’d head for the check-out aisle |
| With a lemon and a bottle of beer |
| Into the car got to make it on home |
| 'Cause supper time is gettin' near. |
| I guess every good picker has had some hard times |
| I have had my share |
| It’s really kinda funny to laugh at it now |
| But I don’t wanna go back there |
| So every now and then when I’m in a grocery |
| I’ll take a little but not much |
| 'Cause you never know when the hard times will hit ya And I don’t want to lose my touch. |
