And all the right GCs in all the right places

If you got Amex Blue, Blue, just raise 'em up
'Cause every inch of your stack of GCs is perfect
From the bottom to the top

Yeah, my mama she told me don't worry about your credit size
She says, "CS clerks like a little more paperwork to file at night."
You know I won't be no slick blog figure pumping links to newbie Barbie dolls
So if that's what you're into then go ahead and move along

"Love Runs Out"

I'll be your light, your match, your burning gc fun,
I'll be the bright, in black that's makin' you do your MS run.
And we'll feel alright, and we'll feel alright,
'Cause we'll work it out, yeah we'll work it out.

I'll be doin' this, if you had a doubt,
'Til the deal runs out, 'til the deal runs out.

I'll be a MS ghost, playing this game in my MS stadium.
I'll deposit fifty-thousand MOs into Bank One.
And I feel alright, and I feel alright,
'Cause I worked it out, yeah I worked it out.

I'll be doin' this, if you had a doubt,
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.

I got my mind made up, man, I can't let go.
Blogs are killing deals every second so I'm buying and burning 'til it saves my soul.
(Ooh) I'll be running, (Ooh) I'll be running,
'Til the deal runs out, 'til the deal runs out.
And FT posts start a fire, and CS will shut gigs down,
'Til the deal runs out, 'til the deal runs out.

There's a maniac blog reading newbie out in line in front of me.
But I got an angel on my shoulder, and CS knows that newbie aint me.
but mama raised me good, mama raised me right.
Mama said, "Do what you want but swipe your cards at night,"
And I'm swiping them, 'cause I'm so devout.
'Til the deal runs out, 'til the deal runs out, yeah.

I got my mind made up, man, I can't let go.

"Another One Bites The Dust"

Oh! Let's go!

Steve walks warily down the street into Walmart
With the brim pulled way down low.
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
Printer machines ready to go.

Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Now at the CS desk the paper rips
In the middle of a sheet

Another store bites the dust
Another store bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another store bites the dust
Hey, the MS Gods gonna get you, too
Another store bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along
Without this Walmart when it's gone?
The CSR took every ID that I had
And kicked me out on my own

The clerk was not happy, this made her unsatisfied
She called the manager over for me to meet
Now at the CS desk the paper rips
In the middle of a sheet

That's it, you're done sir!

[Chorus]

Another store bites the dust
Another store bites the dust
Another store bites the dust
Another store bites the dust

There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a MS man
And bring him to the ground
You can fraud alert him, you can ban him
You can treat him bad on FT and leave bad comments on blogs for him when he's down

But I'm not ready, no, I'm not ready for this, dude
I'm standing in this line on my own two feet
Now at the CS desk the paper rips
In the middle of a sheet

[Chorus]

"Stop Draggin' My Heart Around"

Baby, you'll wanna be an AU and come knocking on my front door
Same old line about free travel you used to use before
I said ya, well
What am I supposed to do
I didn't know what scheme I was getting into

So you've had a little trouble in the Walmart in town
Now you're keeping some CS demons down
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my card around

It's hard to think about what miles you've wanted
It's hard to think about what time and energy you've lost
This doesn't have to be the big FT antagonistic get even
This doesn't have to be anything at all

(I know you really want to tell me and my credit good-bye)
(I know you really want to be your own MS girl)

Baby, when we were at CVS you could never look the clerk in

the eye
Yeah, you buckle with the weight of their policy words
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my card around

[Instrumental Interlude]

People running 'round loose in the blog world
Ain't got nothin' better to do
Than make a meal of some bright eyed newbie MS kid
You need someone looking after you

(I know you really want to tell me and my credit goodbye)
(I know you really want to be your own MS girl)

Baby, you could never look the CVS clerk in the eye
Yeah, you buckle with the weight of their policy words
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my card around

Stop draggin' my card around

"Shake It Off"

I stay out MSing way too late
Got nothing but cashback in my brain
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

I don't go on many dates [chuckle]
If I talk 'bout miles I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop between stores, won't stop moving
It's like I got this cash register sound music
In my mind
Saying, "You wont get a fraud alert tonight."

'Cause the bloggers gonna say, say, say, say, say
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe
I swipe it off, I swipe it off
MO printer-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And them Bancorp fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe
I swipe it off, I swipe it off

I never miss a DO on FT
I'm earning points while on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm

I'm MSing on my own (MSing on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop between stores, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this cash register sound music
In my mind
Saying, "This is all gonna lead to that flight"

'Cause the bloggers gonna say, say, say, say, say
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe
I swipe it off, I swipe it off
MO printer-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And them Bancorp fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe

Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you've been getting down and out about the big bank liars and the dirty, dirty airline cheats of the world,
You could've been getting down to this sick beat.

My ex-man bought his new giftcard
He's like "Oh, my god!" but I'm just gonna swipe.
And to the clerk fella over there with the hella good customer care
Won't you come on over, baby? We can swipe, swipe, swipe

Yeah ohhh

'Cause the bloggers gonna say, say, say, say, say
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe

"Just The Way You Are"

Ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhhh

[Verse 1:]
Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Look just at me and not at my gift cards so they're not shinin'
She gets the GC log and paper
And files it perfectly without her trying
She's so dutiful
And she's my clerk here everyday
Yeah

I know, I know
When I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't buy GCs like you and me
But every time she asks me, "Can I see ID?"
I say,

[Chorus:]
When I see my clerk's face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change except that pimple on her face
'Cause she processes these for me--amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when I come in here you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole rest of the people at the cs desk stop and stare for a while
'Cause, girl, you're so fast at selling me GCs, your'e amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are).
Yeah

[Verse 2:]
Her receipts and slips, her charge slips
I could run transactions all day if she'd let me
Her log, her store log
She hates paperwork but I think it's necessary for MSing
She's so dutiful
And I tell her I'm glad she works here everyday,

Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never hope for a store policy change
It's too bad VR and AP are dead, but
I hope GC to MO just stays the same
So don't even bother asking if this MSer feels okay
You know I'll say,

[Chorus:]
When I see my clerk's face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change except please stock more GCs in this place
'Cause she processes these for me--amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when I come in here you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole rest of the people at the cs desk stop and stare for a while
'Cause, girl, you're so fast at selling me GCs, your'e amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are).
Yeah

The way you are
The way you are
Clerk girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)

[Chorus:]
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change except to let me buy even more each day
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when I come in here you smile
The whole rest of the people at the cs desk stop and stare for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

"Maps"

I miss the taste of a sweeter MS life
I miss the online conversation
I’m searching for a new MS song tonight
I’m looking for gas points at all the gas stations

I like to think that with GCs and deals we had it all
We drew a map to a CVS or Walmart place
But on that road the whole craft took a fall
Oh baby why did the bloggers make it run away?

I was there for you
In your darkest pre PIN GC times
I was there for you
In your non miles & points stays and nights

But I wonder where were you?
When I was stuck in line at the CS desk at my worst
Begging with some junior manager down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you?
When all the roads you took to get to this store came back to me

So I’m following the Google map that leads to that new MS store near you
The map that leads to the one near you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to the loaded GC rack used by you
Following, following, following to you
The Google map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The Google map that leads to a better MO store near you
Following, following, following

I hear all these clerk's voices in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
'Cause something strange has come over me
And now I can’t GCs like you
No, I just can’t get over it, dude

I was there for you
In your darkest pre-Mint Coin times
I was there for you
When I taught you how to get free hotel nights

But I wonder where were you?
When I was at my worst
Getting fraud calls or a FR and being down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you?
When all the roads you took came back to me

So I’m following the Google map that leads to that stocked CVS near you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh oh

Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest time
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest nights

Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest time
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest nights

But I wonder where were you?
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you?
When all the roads you took came back to me

So I’m following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you

"Everybody Talks"


Hey baby won't you click my way?
My site can be your new miles addiction
Hey baby what comment you gotta say?
All I'm giving you is fiction

You're a sorry sucker and these bogus posts happen all the time
We found out that every blogger talks
Every blogger talks, every blogger talks

It started on FT with a whisper
And that was when I PINned with the clerk
And then this made my credit hurt
On Amex.com I can't even find chat
Take me to Walmart that shack
MSers always gotta backtrack
When every blogger talks back

Hey honey MS could be your drug
GCs could be your new prescription
Too much could be an overdose
All this trash talk online make me itching

Oh my my sh*t
Every blogger talks, everybody talks
Every blogger talks too much

It started on FT with a whisper
And that was when I PINned with the clerk
And then this made my credit hurt
On Amex.com I can't even find chat
Take me to Walmart that shack
MSers always gotta backtrack
When every blogger talks back

Never thought I'd live to see the day
When every blogger's words killed deals in every way

Hey CSR show me all your love
All you're giving me is fraud policy friction
Hey CSR what you gotta say?

It started on FT with a whisper
And that was when I PINned with the clerk
And then this made my credit hurt
On Amex.com I can't even find chat
Take me to Walmart that shack
MSers always gotta backtrack
When every blogger talks back

Every blogger talks
Every blogger talks
Every blogger talks
Every blogger talks

Every blogger talks... back

It started on FT with a whisper (every blogger talks, every blogger talks)
And that was when I kissed her (every blogger, every blogger talks)

The End

This is the end
Beautiful gc friend
This is the end
My vanilla friend, the end

Of our elaborate MS plans, the end
Of everything on that gc stand, the end
No safety, just a surprise, the end
I'll never make another pin debit swipe...again

Can you picture what MS will be
Not limitless or fee free
Desperately in need...of some...strange new redbird in hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Rite Aid...wilderness of pain
And all the children on FT are insane
All the children on FT are insane
Waiting for the FTU to train em, yeah

There's danger in the stores on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snaking road of stores is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...think of MS old, because this GCs gone cold

The west is the best MS
The west is the best MS
Get here, and we'll do the rest

The blue bird is callin' us
The blue bird is callin' us
Walmart CSR, where you taken' us

The blogger awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the internet gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister blogger blogged, and...then he
Paid a visit to his blogger brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father blogger, yes son, I want to kill all deals for you
Mother blogger...I want to...blow up the next gig for you!!!

C'mon baby, take a chance with Vanilla
C'mon baby, take a chance with Vanilla
C'mon baby, take a chance with Vanilla
And meet me at the back with the blue bird
Doin' a blue load
On a blue bird
Doin' a blue load
C'mon, yeah

Kill MS, kill, kill, kill, kill MS, kill

This is the end
Beautiful gc friend
This is the end
My Vanilla friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you gcs are no good to me
The end of laughter at DOs and soft lies
The end of nights at CVS when we tried to over buy

This is the end

I especially love these lines in the song now, since many people have recently canceled their Bluebird to get a prepaid Redcard.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird.
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland.

"Slip Slidin' Away" - Paul Simon

Just swipin’ away
Just swipin’ away
You know we’ve picked our destination
And we’ve got to keep swipin’ away

I know a man
He came from my hometown
He wore his passion for Bluebird
Like a thorny crown
He said Dear FT,
I live in fear
This gig’s getting harder
I’m afraid that it will disappear

Just swipin’ away
Just swipin’ away
You know we’ve picked our destination
And we’ve got to keep swipin’ away

I know a woman
She’s an MSers wife
These are the very words she uses
To describe her life
She said a good day
Kate’s good to my man
A bad day’s when he comes home
And says that Walmart has had him banned.

I know a traveller
Who thought he’d won
He found a visa gift card
For $1001
But when he checked out,
“Cash Only,” they explained,
So he hung his head and turned around and headed home again.

Just swipin’ away
Just swipin’ away
You know we’ve picked our destination
And we’ve got to keep swipin’ away

Amex only knows
Blackhawk makes its plan
The information’s available
If you read the Wiki, man.
We work our jobs
Collect our pay
Then we cash it out in gift cards
All the while just swipin’ away.

Just swipin’ away
Just swipin’ away
You know we’ve picked our destination
And we’ve got to keep swipin’ away
