Ode to Local Businesses Lyrics

Hello small businesses out there

That's a part of our community

To make sure that we keep things local

I personally, would love to go and give you a special thank you

I wanna personally shout-out my uh, barber that has uh, her own small business

Just a few blocks away from my place

And uh, yeah

It's nice to have it nice and local and a little bit more expensive

A price I think all of us are willing to pay

But

I mean

But

I mean it isn't really gonna keep us up to speed

I mean

The world's only gonna get a little bit more quicker and a little bit more now

And I mean I could only pay it for so much

I mean I

I only make ten to fifteen bucks an hour

I mean I

I am Walmart's deal of like y'know ten dollar like deals or y'know

So-and-so's has to save up for retirement

You know how much a house is in this day and age?

Six years of annual salary saved up

Do you know how much a car is, much less a house?

I have to get multiple roommates just to loan to get a house

And you want me to spend an extra tithe of ten bucks an hour from part of a salary for a tip?

It's something you don't even ask you just put it on the cheque

I mean what the hell?

Yeah

Yeah Walmart, yeah Target

Yeah so what you old [?] rakin' it in

There's only so much we can do

Yeah, so no I will not be giving you a twenty percent tip

A fifteen to eighteen percent tip

So you even try to scam us on that too

You usually put twenty-five to thirty

That's like a half

That is literally almost half of the fucking

What's with oh don't get me started on the restaurants

I know what happens in there

AAAAAAAAA

So yeah, thank you to all the small businesses that make a change
