Jeffrey Lewis - End Result (12 Crass Songs ) lyrics

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 practically 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 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 and 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
Because 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
Could all spare possesions
Part of the race that's wiping it'self 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 working 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
