[Verse 1]
You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there …

Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to brush it off my …
The bells go off, the buzzer calls1
The traffic starts to buzz2
The clothes are stiff, the fabrics itch
The fit’s a little rough
But I sunk it in, yeah every skin3
Tryna fit inside the glow
I scrambled eggs, from little legs
The day’s off in a rush4
It’s 9 AM, we must clock in
The system waits for us5
I stock the shelves, I work the rows
The product’s all I…6
If I could flip the switch, the system fix
I could move us to the top7
And numbers roar, it’s time to go
But never fast enough8
We never really checked, we never checked the price tag
The cost comes in, it’s gonna be high9
We love our bargains, we love the prices so low
With the good job’s gone, it’s gonna be rough10
In the market, the kids are starvin’11
They reach for the good stuff
But stay off label, just ’til we’re able12
To save a little up
The next thing when the ship comes in
No more worry for us
Just get movin’, the wheels keep turning
It’s time to go pay up13
We never really checked, we never checked the price tag
The cost comes in, it’s gonna be high
We love our bargains, we love the prices so low
With the good job’s gone, it’s gonna be rough
I was lured by the devil, I was lured by the cost14
I was lured by the fear the love we had was lost
I was blind by the money, I was numb from the greed
I’ll take god when I’m ready
I’ll choose sin ’til I leave15
We never really checked, we never checked the price tag
The cost comes in, it’s gonna be high
We love our bargains, we love the prices so low
With the good job’s gone, it’s gonna be rough
I was lured by the devil, I was lured by the cost
I was lured by the fear the love we had was lost
I was blind by the money, I was numb from the greed
I’ll take god when I’m ready
I’ll choose sin ’til I leave16
The bells and buzzer here refer to an alarm clock.
Town is bustling very early in the morning as people head to work.
Morning is a rough time for Corin Tucker, lead singer of Sleater-Kinney, but she deals with it.
Corin Tucker describes what many refer to as “the daily grind:” wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast, go to work, come home, sleep, repeat.
Sleater-Kinney holds some progressive views as a band. They criticize capitalism here by explaining how it entails routines from which humans do not benefit.
Corin Tucker criticizes the fact that working life is all about serving a product – a non-human entity.
There is no switch that can easily be flipped to change the life of a working-class person.
Capitalistic systems, those based on profits, can never run fast enough for their proponents to be satisfied.
The “cost” of living in a capitalistic society is the energy and effort it takes to serve that society.
While people love cheap prices, widespread unemployment and low minimum wages make it very difficult to survive economically.
Sleater-Kinney refers here to the epidemic of hunger, even in developed nations.
Brand name food products can’t be purchased because there is not enough money.
Sleater-Kinney talks about the cyclical life of a capitalist society, one in which humans are reduces to machines that work, earn, spend, and repeat.
Sleater-Kinney refers here to the predatory nature of advertising and commercial marketing. Sometimes the low price of something can convince consumers to buy it, even if it is not something important.
Sleater-Kinney criticizes money, love, and religion for coercing people into making bad decisions.
Sleater-Kinney writes “Price Tag” as a criticism of capitalism and the oppression of human beings by profit-generating systems.
