Cathy don't go to the super market today.
'Cause there's a very strange man at the check-out stand,
And there's a laser scanner where you put your hand.
Cathy don't go to the supermarket today.
[Don't go, Cathy, don't go]
Without a computer lD there's no way to pay.
[Don't go, please don't go]
I know there's a sale and a special on rice,
And you can buy beans at a giveaway price,
But that's just their way to get you down there,
What you don't know is that they're everywhere.
Cathy don't go to the supermarket today.
They had a special program on the TV last night
Explaining calmly why these things must be done right,
They say their new computer is the way to control,
But what they didn't say is that it costs your soul!
Cathy don't go to the supermarket today.
[Don't go, Cathy don't go]
Without a computer lD there's no way to pay.
[Don't go, please don't go]
'Cause there's a very strange man at the check-out stand
And there's a laser scanner where you put your hand.
Cathy don't go to the supermarket today.
Oh, Cathy can't you see what they're trying to do?
This isn't just a new craze,
They want to make us their slaves!
Cathy don't go to the supermarket today.
[Don't go, Cathy don't go]
Cathy let's leave while there's still time to get away.
Honey don't worry, just take my hand,
We can make it even if we have to live off the land.
