Almacén

My old store

I feel like they want to
Convince me not to go back to my store
And that I can find everything
At the big chain store

And they want me to go out
With my family group
That our pastime is window shopping
For things I can’t afford

My old store, my old store
And the parks and the plazas
The old soccer field
Will soon be a shopping mall

That’s why I still
Go back to my old store
Where I know they’ll trust me
When I don’t have cash to spend

And Don René writes me a tab on a piece of paper
Gives away chocolates because he’s
Happy running his store

My old store, my old store
And the parks and the plazas
The old soccer field
Will soon be a shopping mall
Where what will matter
Is what you buy

What you buy is who you are
You’re worth more if you buy more

And the parks and the plazas
The old soccer field
Will soon be a shopping mall
Where what will matter
Is what you buy
And no one will ask how your family is
Because that used to be the way in my old store

My old store, my old store
And I wouldn’t trade my store for anything
