nation of checkout girls

Lyrics

a nation of the finest shopkeepers, now a nation of cloudy eyed checkout girls, career opportunities love, you can stack the shelves, or if you're lucky you can work the tills, and all the lads are packed off fighting, now that you'd know, 'cause no one ever says a word, blair's legacy a barrel of oil, depression recession, it's a mess a bloody mess and that's all, hello we're the generation, who do what we're told, by the corporation hello, hello we're the generation, who do what we're told, by the corporations hello, a nation of the finest shopkeepers, now a nation that's quietly answering calls, career opportunities love, you can man the phones, if you're lucky you'll scrub the floors, and all the lads are packed off fighting, they never knew, thought that they might see the world, shellshocked in a dusty old hell hole, wishing for the kisses, of a cloudy eyed checkout girl, yeah that's all, hello we're the generation, who do what we're told, by the corporation hello, hello we're the generation, who do what we're told, by the corporations hello, oh hello, hello hello hello, generation corporation hello, hello we're the generation, who do what we're told, by the corporation hello
