There's a minor complication in the product report
That 371 has a problem of sorts
It seems to be malfunctioning
It was traced in a cube under flourescent lights
There's a simple small error in construction design
Was it in the blueprints or a matter of time?
It'll take time just to make a repair
It's an obvious sign of complacent despair
Is it anything that we can use around here?
There must be a world outside of this
A place where all these pieces fit
Somewhere I'll find out
The parts and gas won't be enough to lift me out of where I'm coming from
Well I heard that I'm the target of selection crews
When my function was removed from production use
The figures show my parts are obsolete
Well I'd rather not be dismantled here
I've been chosen to be shaped into cans for beer
To keep costs down and earnings up this week
Well it's getting to late to plan an escape
I guess I should accept my mechanical fate
And try not to think about decisions I didn't make
But still I wish I were another design
Resistant to the rain so I could go outside
There must be a world outside of this
A place where all these pieces fit
Somewhere I'll find out
The parts and gas won't be enough to lift me out of where I'm coming from
