"Retail Therapy" is the first release from BLACK FRIDAY, The Musical! - a dark comedic satire about shopping after the apocalypse. 🛒🧟♂️🇺🇸
From a self-professed shopaholic, this song is a commentary on American consumerism (and my own hypocrisy), poking fun at marketing buzzwords and the idea that you can “Buy your happiness" and that material items are the “Answer to everything wrong with your life!"
lyrics
Retail therapy, wholesale life
Twice the size, half the price
Retail therapy, wholesale life
More to love, more to buy
Home gym, home office, home theatre, home bar
Smart home, smartwatch, smart water, smart car
Skincare, sun care, hair care, hairspray
Bug spray, nasal spray, cooking spray, spray bidet
Have it all, be the best, be the man you want to be
Into debt, gotta get all that shit that you don’t need
Just an arm and a leg, come on baby, make it bleed
Tears and sweat, no regret, buy one get one free
It’s a free country, baby
Excess is our right
Pay tomorrow, buy today
Just as advertised
The answer to everything wrong with your life
Retail therapy, wholesale life
Twice the size, half the price
Retail therapy, wholesale life
More to love, more to buy
Fun size, king size, life-size, supersize
Superfoods, super greens, superpower, energize
Energy drinks, energy pills, energy bars, energy shots
Fast-acting, fast-dissolve, non-drowsy, non-stop
