Coupons

What you get is what you bargain for
At the store, I'm in the store
I’m wondering what’s in store for me
Look for the discounts, discounting everything
Everything trivial, everything unfriendly
They’re all out of the good ones again

But I’m not looking for a few pennies off
Just show me something that doesn’t go soft
We’re all out
We’re all out

Outside everything’s colder
Kids get older, friends get so far apart
Just hold on, to something, anything
Convenience highlights imminence
The imminence of change
And I hold coupons in my hands
Empty demands
Standing in the aisle

Lately it’s anything that sets me off
At the store, I'm back for more
I’m wondering how to start again
Because all sales are final
Finality finds me looking for discounts
Hell-bent on easy and
Nothing good ever comes that way

But I’m not looking to save a few cents
I just need something that doesn’t break when it bends
But they’re all out
