Murder Kroger: Where the Pop Stars Shop

Lyrics

Seven twenty-five Ponce de Leon...
You know the one.

Fluorescent lights hum a secret song.
My shopping cart has one wheel that’s wrong.
Past the avocados, perfectly stacked.
Is that Shakira? No, don't look back.
She's probably just here for the coconut water.
This is the place you bring your famous daughter.
Aisle three, gluten-free, the organic kale...
Every shopping trip tells a fairytale.

They call it Murder Kroger.
Yeah, that's the name.
Where Pink pushes a cart in the express lane.
Taylor Swift, incognito, deciding on cheese.
It’s our little legend, carried on the breeze.
They tried to rename it, make it shiny and new.
But it's Murder Kroger, for me and for you.

They put in a Starbucks, polished the floors.
Called it the "BeltLine Kroger" right by the doors.
Such a nice sign, so clean and so green.
The most optimistic rebrand you've ever seen.
But you can't wash away a nickname this good.
It's the soul of the city, it's understood.
From a dark little past to a pop-culture shrine.
This grocery store is doing just fine.

Down at Murder Kroger.
Yeah, that's the name.
Where Pink pushes a cart in the express lane.
Taylor Swift, incognito, deciding on cheese.
It’s our little legend, carried on the breeze.
They tried to rename it, make it shiny and new.
But it's Murder Kroger, for me and for you.

The headlines fade, the stories get old.
But the punchline's too perfect, too glittery and bold.
It's not about the history, not anymore.
It's about the password you say at the door.
It's the landmark we point to, with a wink and a grin.
The place where the real Atlanta begins.

Yeah, Murder Kroger!
That's the name!
Where Pink pushes a cart in the express lane!
Taylor Swift, incognito, deciding on cheese!
It’s our little legend, carried on the breeze!
They tried to rename it, make it shiny and new!
But it's Murder Kroger, for me and for you!

Murder Kroger...
Murder Kroger...
Paper or plastic?
