    We're gonna run this kinda like a kickstarter in that I'm not going to order them for a week or so once we get an idea of how many we'll need. I don't do shows, so having a bunch of extra is something I don't really need at the moment.

lyrics

He works for the minimum, feeling numb
Doing odd jobs till the paper comes
Always sure thing in the Autumn sun
Swing into the spot like a pendulum
Grab the application and he fills it out
Even though that's what his resume is all about
They don't call any of his freakin references
If they are they ain't leaving any messages
Then he shows up filling out more words and numbers on these forms
Then an orientation about how to complete his chores
And just like that now he's back on tap, he'll have beer money in about two weeks
Gotta just sit back, and then fill these racks, until everybody hits them streets
Happy Halloween
He's teachable
Doing good work well it's feasible
But they pretend that every items squeezable
Ain't sitting here trying to be unreasonable
It's seasonal, demeanable
Spirit over here but it's regional
Only took three weeks of servicing the customer before our hero feeling fuckin miserable
October 1st, they all showing up like freaks
Little kids and idiots and big titty goth ladies
And every size that's in between
Everybody that feels so unique
And every time a new one rolls in gotta hear that sensor scream
Where's your spirit
Let me see it
Raise your streamers to the ceiling
Witches is our business and our business here is screaming
Where's your spirit
Let me see it
Share it with the ones that need it
Give a spooky greeting to each and everybody who visits
Where's your spirit
let me see it
Make yourself and me believe it
Rake us up a profit or we'll leave ya out and leave ya fridged
Where's your spirit
let me see it
where's your spirit
let me see it

where's your spirit
show me your spirit

What they want is inhumane, goddamn insane
Don't they know people aren't really made that way
Never naturally, they custom made
Imprint inlaid from a factory
Baby not today, is what he tried to say
Till a feeling came, like a growing pain
Cause he feels contained by his need for pay
every member of his team feels the exact same way
But now he's standing up, he's had enough
Every shift it sucks, and the lack of funds
So he's feeling pumped like he's got the guts
He doesn't have much but his word and nuts
And massive debt, and of course the rent
Always overspent and they will collect
Cause they won't forget when he cash that check
mate come correct, try this instead
Tell me, do you have any plans for your career?
If we expanded could you see yourself with us in 5 years?
Specializing in fall fears is just one of our main tiers
And if you wanted to stay here, we'll make you king of the cashiers
Feels like he crashed down, blacked out
3 percent boost in the bank account
Feels tossed about, when he came around
He was finding out he was selling out
Oh lordy me, how could this be?
He's a larger cog in a vast machine
And he's losing steam and he dares to dream
That everything could go differently


But he still got a job on November 1
And many more months after that to come
Got that god mode OP golden gun
big boy bank having all the fun
Said they're ready for their second phase
Shaking up the furniture and rearrange
They're really gonna try to lift up that face
Well sign him up boys if that's the case
He could use a fire where there once was soul
He could fill the emptiness with piano
He can get down with these wreaths and snow
He's been known to party with mistletoe?
Speakers playing something religious
They said that they're shifting the business
October's for Halloween but after that I think that every month that we’re gonna do christmas!
