	Story Behind the Song Now, for the record, I'm all for capitalism. The problem is when an economy ceases to be capitalist, and makes the transition to consumerism. The difference essentially, is that a capitalist tries to build a better mousetrap, while a consumerist tries to package a better selling mousetrap with no regard to the quality inside. Lyrics You're not just a number, You're a whole economy waiting to be bought and sold like any commodity Everything you buy and sell every product you can name you become the product and you're bought and sold the same We can track your purchases and see what things you buy Then adapt our packaging to one we know you'll try used to be that building better mousetraps would suffice now we just repackage it and they'll sell at twice the price You are the product You'll pay to wear our logo- 'cuz the team is just a brand We'll plant our advertising on the back of every sporting fan You are the product We can take the lowest quality that we can find`` and give it overwhelming value in the public mind you'll shell out your hard earned cash for garbage we know how we just name the highest price and it's a status symbol now Still looking for happiness the hollow feeling grows No matter how much stuff you buy on some level you know Each and every one of you are all the same to me the total on your credit report is all you'll ever be You are the product You're our favorite kind of number, you're loyal to our brand 80 years of purchases for each and every man You are the product You are the product You are the product And the product is you
