There is junk in the supermarket right across the street

It's in TV dinners, soda cans and frozen ground meat

You can wash yourself forever but you'll never get clean

There is junk in the mailbox and the glossy magazines

It's the headline of the papers and it's on the movie screens

It's on every radio station and in every record store

It's the same old thing

Oh I try to remember

What I did in December

Oh I try to remember you

And there's junk on the shelves at the 7-Eleven

You can call it what you like but to me it's all the same

There is junk in the supermarket right across the street

It's in the facial expressions of the people that you meet

You can scrub yourself forever but the dirt it just won't wear off

No it won't wear off

Oh I try to remember

What I did in December

Oh I try to remember you

Junk can have a title, wear a crown and be a king

Junk can be an actor or a pop star who can sing

You can put it in the paper but to me it's just the same old thing

The same old junk

Oh I try to remember

What I did in December

Oh I try to remember you
