Steven at the Beer Store (Live)
Do you feel it's necessary to park in that space?
Can you justify with dignity and look me in the face?
The sign says 'pregnant Moms', 'the elderly', so find another place
And welcome to the beer store
Hello. My name is Steven. The name tag's pretty clear
I've cashed bad cheques and been held up, and even reduced to tears
I'm 36 come April. My Mom says another year
Of living in her basement
Yes, it's hard, when you're just a lad
Growing up with several different Dads
Mom said 'Hey! Life's tough. But that's just too damn bad
I'm not driving you to work today.'
My high school education has served me very well
I may just be addicted to the sweet and sticky smells
Cold out back, hot up front, adult clientèle,
Working for the juice man
There's a sense of law and order pushing plastic and glass
I'm not a people-person, but time seems to pass
It's an interesting perspective of culture and class
From the counter at the beer store.
