This song was written by Barry Mangione and his online audience during the live web show, Barry On The Spot. Each week the artist and the audience collaborate on a different topic to write a song in 30 minutes. For this show, the inspiration was "crazy holiday shoppers." Lyrical inspiration for this song was provided by Anthony Cardno, Scott Witt, Hunter Martin, Melissa Boyer, Elsalee Jay Flynn, and Josh Holt.

lyrics

I've been camped out in front of this store for three whole weeks
Gonna get what I want and beat these geeks
Gonna get my kid that brand new motorized scooter
Gonna get my wife the latest hand-held computer

Don't care who I trample
Don't care who I crush
Gonna get there early
Gonna beat the rush
Gonna run over you while you scream and wail
'Cause your life is worth less than what's on sale

If you cut the line, I'll pull a gun on you
That flatscreen is mine, and I'll take yours too
A month from now these things will cost half as much
But I just gotta have it now, so don't you touch

Don't care who I trample
Don't care who I crush
Gonna get there early
Gonna beat the rush
Gonna run over you while you scream and wail
'Cause your life is worth less than what's on sale

I'm skipping anger management to be here today
If you know what's best for you, you'll stay the hell out of my way

The security guard told me to stop
But I'm not taking orders from a rent-a-cop
The kids will play with this for about four seconds
And they'll think that a fat guy in a sled brought all these presents
They don't know the price or the sacrifice I make
But if you try to take my swag, it'll be your last mistake

Don't care who I trample
Don't care who I crush
Gonna get there early
Gonna beat the rush
Gonna run over you while you scream and wail
'Cause your life is worth less than what's on sale
