Almacén

My old general store

I feel like they're
Trying to convince me not to go to my general store
And that I can find everything
At the multinational store

And they want me to go for a walk
With my family group
Where the pastime is window shopping
For things I can't buy

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

That's why I still
Return to my old general store
Where I know they'll extend credit
When there's no money to spend

And Don René calculates my bill on paper
He gives away chocolates because he
Is happy attending his general store

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

What you buy is what you are
You're more if you buy more things

And the parks and squares
The old soccer field
Will soon be a shopping mall
Where what will matter
Is what you'll buy
And no one will ask how your family is
Because that's how it used to be at my old general store

My old general store, my old general store
And I won't change my general store
