Sale on Apathy

It's been awhile since I've witnessed the glow
Of fluorescent lights in a row
Flickering from the endless strain
Of a twenty-four hour workday
Many patrons come through the doors
Pushing carts while they scuff up the floors
A rattling from a wheel unaligned
Slowly drives me mad overtime

I open up the sales ad
Lo and behold I see
Empathy's backordered but
There's a sale on apathy

I look around at the mice in the maze
Blinders on to help them concentrate
Looking out for the products on shelves
Thinking of no one else but themselves
Pay no mind to the stocker you see
Organizing cans on their knees
Have them move claim there's no other way
Fill your cart with the powdered Kool-Aid

I open up the sales ad
Lo and behold I see
Empathy's backordered but
There's a sale on apathy

We are all strangers
Within this metal frame
We have forgotten
How to communicate
No rhyme or reason
The rules will bend and break
Take all your clothes off
Cleanup on aisle eight

I open up the sales ad
Lo and behold I see
Empathy's backordered but
There's a sale on apathy

I open up the sales ad
Lo and behold I see
Empathy's backordered but
There's a sale on apathy
