Supermercado
Maldita Vecindad Y Los Hijos Del Quinto Patio Lyrics

The lyrics to Maldita Vecindad Y Los Hijos Del Quinto Patio's song Supermercado describe the frustration and exploitation felt by a worker in a supermarket. The singer of the song has been working in the supermarket for two months, taking care of the merchandise that is not theirs and unable to afford them. The prices of the items are changed and raised continuously. One day, when the singer is checking the prices, instead of raising them, they put a huge discount on everything they found. However, the manager discovered it during the sale event and a brawl ensued, in which the singer won by knockout. In the end, the singer is left without a job and looking for another one.

The song Supermercado highlights the plight of many workers who work in similar environments, dealing with low wages and no job security. The lyrics express the feeling of powerlessness and the desire to fight against exploitation. By putting a large discount on the merchandise, the singer tried to subvert the system that exploited them. However, this only ended up in them losing their job, which speaks to the harsh realities of standing up against exploitation.
