Another Wal-Mart Supercenter to hit California

I commented on this one as "Ned".

The Mayor (Don Higginson) is a corporate stooge.

“I’m proud to see Walmart continuing to invest in our community,” Mayor Don Higginson said, according to a news release. “Walmart has gone above and beyond to make sure they are giving back through helping residents save money and through forging meaningful relationships in the City of Poway.”

The sweet pretty things are in bed now of course
The city fathers they're trying to endorse
The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse
But the town has no need to be nervous.

The ghost of Belle Star she hands down her wits
To Jezebel the nun she violently knits
A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
At the head of the chamber of commerce.

Mama's in the fact'ry
She ain't got no shoes
Daddy's in the alley
He's lookin' for food.
I'm in the kitchen
With the tombstone blues
