7-11 Man

(album: Skapocalypse Now! - 1992)

I work at the 7-11
That's how I get all my pay
Sometimes I work all the night
Sometimes I work all the day
I sell junk to all of my friends
I sell almost everything
Pizza, pies and chicken pies
Even erasable pens

I'm just an average guy
Every day I risk my life
Please don't kill me tonight
There's only a twenty in the register, alright?

Strange things happen to me every day
My boss says you just learn to say:
All I do is wait and wait and pray:
"Will I make it through another hectic day?"
Every hour I super scheme my life
My parents wondering if I was raised up right
I got three cameras to film the bloody sight
Of people who may just murder me tonight

I'm just an average guy
Every day I risk my life
Please don't kill me tonight
There's just a twenty in the register, alright?

My work also has its benefits
I get to watch people fit all that they can fit
Into their coats and pockets with hand
Because no one is afraid of the 7-11 man
Cokes, jelly beans and bagels so right
Eating packs of chewing gum all through the night
Six more hours the sun will rise
And I'm just a working man who wants to survive

I'm just an average guy
Every day I risk my life
Please don't kill me tonight
There's just a twenty in the register, alright?
