Lyrics

Variety Store Man - drawing by Harvey Dog 2025-01-12 for the 1991 Hated Uncles video "Variety Store".

Look at this
apple in a pig
heroin and opium
apomorphine
prostitutes and hookers
we’ve got everything
in the variety store

C
And I’m living
in Indianapolis
and I’m looking
for Kurt Vonnegut.

Step right in
Styrofoam cups
radiation scams
excess of the rich
dreamboats and sailboats
we’ve got everything
in the variety store.

Kurt Vonnegut - drawing by Harvey Dog 2025-01-12 for the 1991 Hated Uncles song "Variety Store".

C
And I’m standing
in the pollution
and I’m looking
for resolution.

Come on in
check this out
quit your bitching
booze and forests
MSGs and PCBs
we’ve got everything
in the variety store.

C
And I’m living
in isolation
and I’m searching
for absolution.

We got everything
We got everything
We got everything…
