Hand-crafted but poorly painted
Left behind and nine kinds of tainted
Why not come and pick me up?
No crowded aisles, no raging mobs
No one remembers why I do my job
Why not come and pick me up?
You could be the one who could take me home today
Wouldn’t that be heavenly?
I’m starting to get scared that they might throw me away
And I know there’s a better life waiting for me
You may antagonize the choices they’re making
Here’s the skinny: they’re all mistaken
Why not come and pick me up?
Forget the papers with their gilded wealth
Wouldn’t I look perfect on the shelf?
Why not come and pick me up?
So much for superliminal advertising
Whatever I’m selling no one’s buying
Why not come and pick me up?
Supposedly I am a part of history right from the start
But no one ever has the heart to put me in their shopping cart
Why not come and pick me up?
