The Lyrics

As much as I'd like to ridicule Justin Bieber especially back in his heyday as an oft-reviled teen pop singer, I never really thought of parodying any of his songs until recently when "Sorry" made the airwaves. It kinda' makes sense, being Bieber's recent single is a hit here in my place, and so do counterfeit goods which are oh-so-common in street or flea markets.

Why do I have a knack with all those fly-by-night companies
They're all sub-standard goods, yet I just purchase them willfully
I hope I don't run out of time, I'm demanding a warranty
Even though, these came from, a flea market

I know, I know, went too cheap and skimped on the long term, or twice
Like at one time when my graphics card crashed for the hundredth time*
My cousin complained her "Sofia The First" toy broke down one night
As they say, you just get, what you pay for

Yeah
My phone's batt'ry blew up, it's shoddy
And my, T-shirt tore up showing my belly, ow
Want a refund cause they're too shoddy
Yeah, I know these knock-offs just make us frown
Is it too late to bring this dud back now?

It's shoddy yeah
Shoddy yeah
Shoddy
Yeah, I know these fakes make us frown
Is it too late to bring this dud back now?

Counterfeit products are broken and sometimes are toxic too**
And just like with faux Shopkins items, they look worse than alien goo***
Chris Louboutin's jaded, he called a raid or two, it's the truth****
Power bricks, that I used, were too dang'rous...

Yeah
My phone's batt'ry blew up, it's shoddy
And my, T-shirt tore up showing my belly, ow
Want a refund cause they're too shoddy
Yeah, I know these knock-offs just make us frown
Is it too late to bring this dud back now?

Had a fake Rolex watch, and some Nikes (oh, no, no)
And my, T-shirt tore up showing my belly (my belly), oh
Want a refund cause they're too shoddy
Yeah, I know these knock-offs just make us frown
Is it too late to bring this dud back now?

[2x]
It's shoddy yeah
Shoddy, oh
Shoddy
Yeah, I know these knock-offs just make us frown (make us frown)
Is it too late to bring this dud back now

* As in the case of people who bought Vamery-brand GPUs on eBay, which are nothing more than older 8800 to GTS250 series cards being hacked to report as a GTX 650 or later.
** Environmentalist groups have warned consumers against buying faked goods especially for their children, considering some of them use paint laced with heavy metals.
*** Moose Toys has since uploaded a video on YouTube noting the differences between authentic and knockoff Shopkins toys.
**** Don't even try selling a fake Louboutin on your website or spam it on someone else's inbox. Chances are Chris or his legal team would have a raid or two conducted against you as they have a "zero tolerance" policy against companies infringing on their IPs.
