Discover the story of the song > Legal Age Life at Variety Store – Rheostatics

The song is about a young man working at a store where he sells drugs. He's tired from standing in the snow for so long and he feels like a fool. He doesn't like disco or war, and he thinks that the meek (weak) people won't inherit the Earth anymore. Every time he wakes up, he tries to speak but only feels weak and sad.
