Price Tag Shift

Clock in, name tag on

Fold shirts till the rack looks born

Barcode beep in the dawn-lit aisle

Stockroom air and a tired smile

Gotta clean this mess

Gotta keep it straight

One more spill by the door

And it can wait

Backroom, front row

Keep it moving, keep it low

Backroom, front row

I know how this thing goes

(Backroom, front row)

One box in, one box out

Till the closing bell comes down

Tape gun stuck on my thumb

Sweeping crumbs where the customers run

Karen at lane two needs a price

Kid with candy and a guilty grin

Gotta check that shelf

Gotta smile again

Even when my feet are wrecked

At the end

Backroom, front row

Keep it moving, keep it low

Backroom, front row

I know how this thing goes

(Backroom, front row)

One box in, one box out

Till the closing bell comes down

Break room chair, five-minute peace

Cold soda can and aching knees

Manager says we’re doing great

I lace my shoes and reset

Backroom, front row

Keep it moving, keep it low

Backroom, front row

I know how this thing goes

(Backroom, front row)

One box in, one box out

When the closing bell comes down

(Backroom, front row)
