Shoplifting at Macy's
Shoplifting Struggles: A Tale of Desperation and Consequence
Lyrics
These are thee things that belong to me
Referring to personal belongings
Nothing that's worth five dollars you see
Nothing valuable worth five dollars
I needed something of value
Expressing a need for something valuable
I needed money for drugs and food
Desperation for money to buy drugs and food
I got caught shop lifting at macys
Admitting to shoplifting at Macy's
I got caught shop lifting at macys
Repetition, emphasizing the act of shoplifting
Oh no
Expression of concern or regret
Hand on my shoulder a voice says son
Someone addressing the shoplifter
I tried to run 'cause I never learn
Attempt to escape consequences due to a lack of learning
There go my plans for the afternoon
Plans disrupted because of the incident
I'm in a chair in the managers room
In a room with the manager, facing consequences
I got caught shop lifting at macys
Reiteration of the shoplifting incident
They say this won't change ....for free
Suggesting consequences won't be free or easy
Oh no
Reiteration of concern or regret
They say son your quite moronic
Manager's criticism for being foolish
Why don't you try something honesty
Suggesting honesty as an alternative
I said that I'd do my best
Expressing willingness to be honest
If they would not make an arrest
Conditional commitment to honesty to avoid arrest
Oh Well Oh Well Oh Well ohh oh oh
Expression of resignation or acceptance
But this is not the first time oh no
Acknowledging it's not the first shoplifting incident
They've got my records from other stores
Previous shoplifting incidents are known to authorities
I will be ...........individual
Partial line, unclear meaning
And it is off to the clink I go
Anticipating imprisonment or consequences
