lyrics

Giant Eagle Jackie, how did things get this bad
standing across the counter counting coins
into your paper thin skin hand

Eighty and standing eight hours a day is no way to spend your life,
I wish I could feed you free five dollar lattes till the light fades
at the end of time

Giant Eagle Jackie, you make me so afraid
stealing my cloth, wiping tabletops cause you need a job,
something that pays

when that final trumpet blows on the last boat off the planet
you and me and our poverty
will be here picking through the ashes

while the escapees play Call of Duty eight
tumbling through endless space
hold it up like history
and teach their children earth was a dangerous place

but not that they made it that way

Giant Eagle Jackie, how did things get this bad?
you just hold your head up
we'll do the best we can
