Screwed at the Drive-thru - lyrics


(alternate extended intro)
The sign out front said, “Billions Sold”
Makes you think they’d know what to do
But the game that they play is getting old
They always screw me at the drive-thru

“Would you like ketchup with your fries?”
“Would you like cream and sugar too?”
Why do they bother with these lies?
They always screw me at the drive-thru

Can I speak to the manager please?
Don’t make me get on my knees
I know she’s busy – you can’t help me
I got two burgers, but I ordered three
That’s just one beef that I have with you
Where’s the rest of my food? Dude!
Yesterday, I didn’t get all of my order
Here at the drive-thru

I was halfway home
‘spilled soda on my clothes
The cup was so full of ice
That my gearbox nearly froze
I was almost home
I reached for my food
All of my french fries were missing
Which put me in a really bad mood.

Can I speak to the manager please?
Don’t make me get on my knees
I know she’s busy – you can’t help me
I got two burgers, but I ordered three
That’s just one beef that I have with you
Where’s the rest of my food? Dude!
Yesterday, I didn’t get all of my order
Here at the drive-thru

I’ve had more than enough of you
You couldn’t even buy a clue
So now I want to meet the one who trained you
The one who taught you what to do
Is it your official company policy…
Extra value?
Every time I come here I’m screwed
Screwed at the drive-thru

I came to speak to the manager now
Can you get ‘er, do you know how?
I know she’s busy – you can’t help me
I got two burgers, but I ordered three
That’s just one beef that I have with you
Where’s the rest of my food? Dude!
You’re the one who got my order wrong
Here at the drive-thru
At the drive-thru
At the drive-thru

Yesterday you may have laughed
As I was driving away
But my car is now in park
And I’ll sit here and wait – all damn day
This time it won’t be me- oh no
This time it will be you
Who is going to get screwed
Screwed at the drive-thru

Now can I speak to the manager please?
Look who’s on their knees
I can wait all day
I’m not going away
I’m not going away – no way
‘cause I’m here to stay
I’m here to stay
I’m here to stay
