Just One Thing Meltdown

I’m standing here with my single box of tea

Observing a full-scale archaeological spree

You’ve got a cart overflowing with a thousand items

And you’re searching for coupons like you’re reading tiny bibles

The conveyor belt is a landscape of forgotten bread

While I’ve got one thought screaming inside of my head

Just one thing!

Just one thing!

Why is the universe playing this game with me?

Just one thing!

Just one thing!

Let the chaos end and let me go be free!

You’re checking the bottom, you’re checking the top (the top)

You’re checking the side for a code that should make it all stop

But there’s no scan, no beep, just a deafening silence (silence)

While I’m calculating the odds of a public act of violence

You’ve got a bunch of bananas that you didn't even weigh (no weigh)

So we’re all gonna sit here for the rest of our day

Just one thing!

Just one thing!

Why is the universe playing this game with me?

Just one thing!

Just one thing!

Let the chaos end and let me go be free!

The seconds are miles, the air is like glue

I’m trapped in this neon-lit nightmare with you

The conveyor is frozen, the light is too bright

I think I am fading away from the light

I’m screaming inside, but it’s silent out here

I’m drowning in grocery-aisle-based fear

Just one thing!

Just one thing!

I’m losing my mind can you see what I mean!

Just one thing!

Just one thing!

Get me out of this checkout machine!

(I’m just gonna leave it...)

(I’m just gonna go...)

(Just one... thing...)
