Lyrics of 'Credit' by Ariel Pink

"hi, i was in here about 10 minutes ago? i just bought this boombox, it's playing at the totally wrong speed, uh, i don't want a refund, or..."
"ah, i'm sorry son..."
"...can you just, uh, give me another one?"
"...no"

The sale is final, no rebates
If you're a member you can come and say,
"sir would you help me or give me a break in credit"
(credit)

You read the fine print and you signed
No we're not authorized, the card's declined (oh!)
If you'll just sign here, we can change your dimes
In credit
(credit)

In credit, we win you lose
In credit, our choices by you
In credit, go buy something used
Credit, credit credit credit
(check it)

The warranties do not suffice
You bought at cost, oh well you paid the price
The sign is clear, it says "you break, you buy" - some credit
(credit)

We'll send you coupons in the mail
Quite a markoff so don't buy retail
Go get a loan for we get wholesale in credit
(credit, credit)

Credit, do what you're told
In credit, returned when you're old
In credit, to have and to hold
In credit, get that check - check it, credit

Uh, credit
(may i help?)

Your driving record is not clean
Your mortgage payments remain outstanding
Give us your body or will drop nineteen in credit
(credit, credit!)

All is fair and fair's a game
The game is buying and you're forced to play
When you're old your kids will trade your brains for credit
(credit, a lotta credit)

For credit, we'll always come back
With credit, you'll never keep track
Do credit, it's better than crack
Bad credit, no turning back
Credit

(oh, i've got bad credit, woah!)
Credit, uh huh, oh
(what's that?)
Credit
Oh
(to have and to hold
It hurts me)
Credit
(makes me so hot)
Take it back, take it back
Take it back

Then go right away, to an atm machine
Just right away
Could go right away and check your credit
Check it
Check your balance
While you're at it
Check your credit
No, give me some credit
Quit being retarded at least
