You’ll just have to imagine the music playing…

Well, you can sell ev’rything in a town hall base,
Dump your wares at a steady pace.
I don’t buy anymore.
You can sell ev’rything in a county bend,
I won’t buy no nothin’ ’cause I just can’t spend.
I don’t buy anymore. I don’t buy anymore.

I won’t buy what you sell.
I won’t buy the cool things you shell.

‘Cause I’ve been walking through the discount stores you are not in.
And I can’t even buy from their discount bin.
I can’t buy anymore.
So I will stand by the road with my beggin’ sign,
As I’ve nothing to give if I get a fine.
I can’t buy anymore. I can’t buy anymore.

I won’t buy what you sell.
You never sold me the good stuff anyway.

I won’t be ’round anymore.
Won’t get in your way.
So goodbye.
I got pennies to pick from parking lots.
I don’t buy anymore. I don’t buy anymore.
I can’t buy anymore. I can’t buy anymore.

Well, I don’t care ’bout what you sell,
‘Cause ev’ry day I’m pinching my last penny.
And I can’t buy the goods you sell.
Hey, I’ll be okay sans any.
‘Cause you know…

‘Cause I remember all the sales you always had.
And you said “cha-ching, cha-ching!” and made me so mad.
I can’t buy anymore.
And I really ain’t hurtin’ ’cause you’re hurtin’ too.
‘Cause I can’t buy and you can’t sell anything new.
I can’t buy anymore. Ya hear? I can’t buy no more.

I won’t buy what you sell.
You never sold me the good stuff anyway.

I won’t be ’round anymore.
Won’t get in your way.
So goodbye.
I got pennies to pick from parking lots.
I don’t buy anymore. Ya hear? I don’t buy anymore.
I can’t buy anymore. Ya listening? I can’t buy no more.
No more!

You know I can’t buy no more!
