The Wailing Mall

[Verse 1]
I was lost at the mall in the US of A, 1994
There was panic at the Payless
A little brown boy led astray
I had no star-spangled manner
I knew no yippee ki-yay
But it's been years now since someone's paged my mother
So I guess I'm here to stay

[Verse 2]
My little brown blues
Yeah, they were longing to stray
Freedom fighting in the tangled jungles of the Rainforest Cafe
But would-be soldiers oughta know guerrillas get no ticket day parade
I saw my day in food court, I couldn't beat the wrap
So now I'm serving their buffеt

[Chorus]
Minute by minute, losing ground to an endlеss sprawl
They got us all surrounded now
Backs to the wailing mall
Backs to the wailing mall

[Verse 3]
They say the world's in hot water
Well, it's a world of hassle anyway
I just play that hot water music in my tinfoil Che beret
So good luck finding parking when it's T2: Judgement Day
Good luck trying to leave an endless sprawl in the US of A

[Chorus]
Minute by minute, losing ground to an endless sprawl
They got us all surrounded now
Backs to the wailing mall
Backs to the wailing mall
