LYRIC FOR SALE

By Laurie Mahoney

(1st Verse)
Well your eyes follow me
As I move through the store
It’s the same old stare
Since forever before
From ya counter back there
You clocked me as I came in the door

Hey I’m not lookin’ for your love
Not shootin’ for the moon
Just wanna shop in peace
On a Tuesday afternoon
Not breakin’ the law
Ya know the open sign was lit on the door

I’m not the only one in here
I think I need to mention
Cos it seems pretty clear
I got all your attention
Don’t understand
What the hell you think I came here for


(Chorus)
Ya little power trip
Is on a sinkin’ ship
The wider world don’t care for your views
Why don’t ya leave it alone
Don’t make me pull out the phone
And blow ya up all over the news

(2nd Verse)
Yeah I’m free to walk these aisles
It’s in the constitution
But the others get smiles
Instant absolution
For those who blend in
They don’t get ya view from over the stalls

Not true for those like me
Supposed to be free
But ya keep behind invisible walls
It’s nothin’ that I’ve done
At least not here today
Nothin’ that I said
I don’t have any lines in this play

(Chorus)
Ya little power trip
Is on a sinkin’ ship
The wider world don’t care for your views
Why don’t ya leave it alone
Don’t make me pull out the phone
And blow ya up all over the news

(3rd Verse)
Well I can call you on it
But it might all go south
You’ll pull that who me shit
With ya wide-open mouth
Actin’ so confused
Like I’m blowin’ your mind
Cos everybody knows
You’re the least o’ that kind

And you can call in some support
Make up a report
Swearin’ every word is true
And leave me pleadin’ out
Or bleedin’ out
While everybody’s comfortin’ you

Yeah I know what you are
Cos I seen it before
But the camera don’t lie
And you don’t get to hide anymore

(Chorus)
Ya little power trip
Is on a sinkin’ ship
The wider world don’t care for your views
Why don’t ya leave it alone
Don’t make me pull out the phone
And blow ya up all over the news

(Outro)
Ya little power trip
Ya little power trip
Ya little power trip
Ya little power trip
Ya little power trip (Your little power trip)
Ya little power trip (It’s on a sinkin’ ship)
Ya little power trip (Why can’t ya leave it alone)
Ya little power trip (Don’t make me whip out the phone)
Power trip
Power trip
Power trip
(Ya little) Power trip
