About

This song reflects on the decline and dissolution of a business or corporation, using metaphorical language to convey a sense of resignation, reflection on past successes and failures, and the inevitability of closure.

Everything Must Go Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's high time for a walk on the real side
Let's admit the bastards beat us
I move to dissolve the corporation
In a pool of margaritas
So let's switch off all the lights
Light up all the Luckies
Crankin' up the afterglow

[Refrain]
'Cause we're goin' out of business
Everything must go

[Verse 2]
Talk about your major pain and suffering
Now our self-esteem is shattered
Show the world a mighty hidey-ho face
As we go sliding down the ladder
It was sweet up at the top
'Til that ill wind started blowing
Now it's cozy down below

[Refrain]
'Cause we're goin' out of business
Everything must go

[Bridge]
We gave it our best shot
But keep in mind we got a lot
The sky, the moon, good food and the weather
First-run movies—does anybody get lucky twice?
Wouldn't it be nice…

[Verse 3]
Tell me can you dig it Miss Fugazy
Now it's gone from late to later
Frankly I could use a little face time
In the service elevator
And if Dave from Acquisitions
Wants to get in on the action
With his Handicam in tow

[Refrain]
Well we're goin' out of business
Everything must go

[Verse 4]
Can it be the sorry sun is rising
Guess it's time for us to book it (To book it)
Talk about the famous road not taken
In the end we never took it
And if somewhere on the way
We got a few good licks in
No one's ever gonna know

[Refrain]
'Cause we're goin' out of business
Everything must go
