D#(C) l D#(C) l
I sat at the swanky restaurant ate my free dinner
Gm(Em) l Gm(Em) l
listened to the sales pitch to all us beginners
G#(F) l G#(F) l
to own a personal franchise of the fast food nation
A#(G) l A#(G) l
and be assigned a territorial location
G#(F) l G#(F) l
All they need is a commitment grand
A#(G) l A#(G) l
invoiced investment for your own Seven Eleven brand
Gm(Em) l Gm(Em) l
I was beginning to have my doubts
D#(C) l D#(C) l
thats when the scene faded out

Dozed off and dreamed I had a store
Gm(Em) l Gm(Em) l

woke as I saw a man with a gun walkin thru the door
A#(G) l A#(G) l
Thought to myself what do I want to do this for
G#(F) l G#(F) l
Your own Seven Eleven sellin' alcohol and gasoline
A#(G) l A#(G) l
high fructose corn syrup and nicotine
Gm(Em) l Gm(Em) l
candy and maybe a dirty magazine
D#(C) l D#(C) l
no profit in what is fresh or green

D#(C) l D#(C) l
I left the meeting before the pitch ended
Gm(Em) l Gm(Em) l
had to escape so my conscience could send it
G#(F) l G#(F) l
let someone else own your own Seven Eleven
A#(G) l A#(G) l
won't be me for that I thank heaven
G#(F) l G#(F) l
Went back to the office 9 to 5
A#(G) l A#(G) l
let someone else serve those who drink smoke and drive
Gm(Em) l Gm(Em) l
Didn't answer the phone when the pitchman number rang
D#(C) l D#(C) l
I still remember the song they sang

Repeat Refrain
