Frankie Castle: Borders Terrorist

Borders Terrorist, Bookseller Philanthropist
Organizing, alphabetizing, another row shift
Code cliff notes on my right palm so I don't recite wrong
"May I help you, Ma'am?" I'm the polite one
Walkie-talkie squakin' off into my earpiece
Kids tuggin' at my shirt for the Naruto series
Get the opportunity to grab a book and sit and read
While bosses hover over me with grandiose authority
"Put the book back and get back work STAT"
The fact is that the Rook don't care to make an impact
I act like I'm on it then I scat like Haley's Comet
To go read the daily comics while mainly forsaking profits
Witnessing shoplifts, stick it to the man
Dissmiss admonishing caution 'cuz I do what I can

Borders Terrorist, insubordinate lyricist
Insurgent perfection of subversive insurrection

Tick tock alarm clock my ten minute break was over
Twenty minutes ago back when Frankie as still sober
Connoisseur of books, music, and DVDs
Screw employee discounts I can get me that stuff for free
Torrents and mp3s abhorrent to paying fees
War bent on attaining content from overseas
Not a dime to Borders Group commitin' crimes/disorder/fueds
Ignoring the importance of a tidy spit-shined corner booth
But keep me in the loop by way of paychecks
So I can afford to keep rockin' peoples' tapedecks
I've been a minion to retail brutes from way back
Survey the shelves and leave 'em all in disarayed stacks
Engraved "Employee of the Year" on several stray plaques
For all the discount items in the store check the display rack

What? Whatayou want? That book ain't in the store
But a fiver under the table and the Rookie might procure
The PDF, don't second guess a saboteur
You'll have it by tomarrow from this Bookseller Entrepreneur
What's the score? Frankie 50, Borders zip
Hang by the Info Desk for another nifty quip
Hardly workin' moslty lurkin' to avoid uncertain doom
Close the cutrain I'm desertin' these berserk men in the room
Raidin' Tombs seeking the Holy Grail of Jesus
Tear apart the store to find a copy of The Secret

Finally, someone let me into the cage
I gotta grab parental advisory for kids under age
I know it should be their's but I really don't care
I'm more obligated morally to educate them all aurally
More importantly than some classless clowning
These after school teen's tastes stupidity is astounding
Gotta keep their grubby mits off bestseller surrounding
The latest in the seven of Ms. J.K. Rowling
Overhead shouting "Assistance to Customer Service"
Muster all my courage 'cuz the buster is making me nervous
To make a purchase take your items to the frontlines
Where our Borders Terrorists are haply working part-time
Ignoring recovery, no more glorifying workaholics
Burn all of your degrees, no more gettin' yourself into college
Fullfledged, highly ranked, spoon-fed, hardly-thanked
Bookseller Tycoon in this platoon for all my friends' sake
Wide awake zipfizz induced stream of consiousness
G.E.A.R. it up another customer is here to talk to death

Greet, engage, assist, recommend
Greet, engage, assist, recommend
Greet, engage, assist, recommend
Close down, open up and we do it again

It goes greet, engage, assist, recommend
Greet, engage, assist, recommend
Greet, engage, assist, recommend
Open up, close down then we all go to bed

Then we sleep in stages and shift 'til we're dead
Sleep in stages and shift 'til we're dead
Sleep in stages and shift 'til we're dead
