A song of the life of the red plastic cups you always see people drinking out of at parties.
i was born in a factory
i looked around and saw a million others like me
and i knew that this was gonna be my life
not a single quality about me that i like
and i knew that i would get away
i knew that i be myself someday

i was packed up and shipped 
with 20 of my brothers pushed up against my ribs
from the cold steel rooms i called home
to a dark and musty truck crowded but alone
i ended up on some brightly lighted shelf
and i knew that someday i would be myself

some kids came in one day and bought me
i was scanned and paid for was 2 dollars thirty
before i knew it i was filled up with beer
and then i was discarded and filled up with fear
people dancing everywhere i was almost crushed
someone kicked me out the door and i felt blessed with good luck

cause then i was struck with lightening
and i grew legs for walking
and hands for manipulating 
and i grew lips for talking

and i went inside and told those kids
that life was a precious, precious thing
and after they all stopped screaming
then we all started dancing!
