lyrics

Who are these nice young men
Who welcome us to the convenience store?
Is this some sort of new promotional gimmick?
Ain't never seen anything like it before

They seem like they're in a hurry
As they run out and surround our car
And none of them seems to be smiling
Have their plans ever gotten this far before?

I don't want to point no fingers
Folks will take what they can get
But around these parts best not to linger
We keep moving so we don't regret

Why are there four nice men
Sent out to welcome only us two?
Why are they approaching our doors?
Are they eager to share some good news?

Stopping I avoid eye contact
Slow motion, I put it in reverse
And wonder who are these four nice young men
Now angrily starting to curse at us?

I don't want to point no fingers
Folks will take what they can get
But around these parts best not to linger
We keep moving so we don't regret

Who are these nice young men?
