End Result Songtext
von Jeffrey Lewis

I am a product
I am a symbol
Of endless, hopeless, fruitless, aimless games

I′m a glossy package on the market shelf
My contents aren't fit for human consumption
I could tragically injure your perfect health
My ingredients will seize up your body′s functions

I'm the dirt that everyone walks on
I am the orphan that nobody wants
I am the stair carpet that everyone walks on
I am the leper that nobody wants to touch
Much

I am a sample
I am a scapegoat
Of useless, futureless, endless, mindless ideas

I'm the number on a paper you file away
I′m a portfolio that you stick in the drawer
I′m the fool you try to scare when you say,
"We know all about you, of that you can be sure"


Well, I don't want your crazy system
I don′t want to be on your files
Your temptations, I try to resist them
'Cause I know what hides beneath your smiles

I am a topic
I am a subject
For useless, futureless, endless, mindless debates

You think of ways that you can hide me from
The naive eyes of your figurehead
But don′t you find that it ain't easy?
Wouldn′t you love to see me dead?

Your answer is to give me treatment
For crying out when you give me pain
Leave me with no possible remnant
You poke your knives into my brain

I'm an example
I'm no hero
Of the great, intelligent, magnificent human race

I′m part of the race that kills for possesions
Part of the race that′s wiping itself out
I'm part of the race that′s got crazy obsessions
Like locking people up not letting them out


I hate the living dead and their work in factories
They go like sheep to their production lines
They live on illusions, don't face the realities
All they live for is that big blue sign that says,
"Ford"
I′m bored, bored, bored

I am a product
I am a symbol
Of endless, hopeless, fruitless, aimless games

I am a sample
I am a scapegoat
Of useless, futureless, endless, mindless ideas

I am a topic
I am a subject
For useless, futureless, endless, mindless debates

I'm an example
I′m no hero
Of the great, intelligent, magnificent human race

(The great, intelligent, magnificent human race)
The great, intelligent, magnificent human race
