Peter Stampfel - Everything Must Go lyrics

As I walked out in the streets of my hometown
Came across this building they
Were tearing down
Was a place I went when I was just a kid
Some kind of bargain store with
Signs that always read:

Everything must go
This is the final clearance
There’ll be no reappearance
We want you all to know everything must go
Prices lower than the laws allow
If you want it better get it now
Everything must go

When I got back home the door was open wide
Not a stick of furniture was left inside
Neighbours said your wife ran off
With your best friend i closed my eyes and I
Could see them signs again

Everything must go
This is the final clearance
There’ll be no reappearance
As if I didn’t know everything must go
Dormant-ation keeps finding me
But in the window they’re reminding me
Everything must go

So I went to Kelsey’s bar to watch the news
Figured that I didn’t have too much to lose
Saw the blazing mushroom cloud upon the tube
The newsman spoke to me but I already knew

Everything must go
This is the final clearance
There’ll be no reappearance
In case you didn’t know everything must go
So we gotta be a-goin’ now
We would leave you all a-knowin’ now
Everything must go

(Prices are insane) everything must go
(I think it’s gonna rain) everything must go
(Prices are insane) everything must go
(I think it’s gonna rain) everything must go
(No one left to blame) everything must go
(Nothing will remain) everything must go
(I really can’t complain)
(Prices are insane) everything must go
(I think it’s gonna rain) everything must go
(Prices are insane) everything must go
(I think it’s gonna rain) everything must go
(Prices are insane) everything must go
(I think it’s gonna rain) everything must go
