Piece Of Crap Lyrics
Bought a plastic bag
The bottom fell out
It was a piece of crap
Bought it on the phone
Now you're home alone
It's a piece of crap
I tried to turn it on
When I got it home
It was a piece of crap
On him you can depend
I found out in the end
It was a piece of crap
I saw it on TV
They cut the forest down
To build a piece of crap
They gave me four more
The guy told me at the door
It's a piece of crap
Nope. 1994. "Sleeps With Angels" album. With Crazy Horse.
The album is a bit morbid because it deals with the death of Kurt Cobain, who quoted from "Hey Hey My My" in the suicide note and the death of a friend's daughter in a mistaken driveby shooting (see "Driveby").
It think it's a great song. It's a bit of relief on the album from the rest of the gloom. Kind of like how "Come On Baby, Let's Go Downtown" is relief on "Tonight's The Night".
I see its antecedents more as being "Welfare Mothers" and "Fucking Up". "Come on Baby, Let's Go Downtown" certainly acts as relief from the prevailing mood on "Tonight's The Night", but its main role is to explain the mood of the rest of the album: It was Danny's junk song.

Still, good post!
Still, good post!
yeah I don't see the appeal here. It does just seem to be about shitty products though.
buyer beware.
sometimes Neil Young writes brilliant songs, songs that really speak to you. And sometimes he writes this.
Everytime I read these lyrics, I can't help but laugh. Not in a condescending sense at all! I just think, the brutal simplicity is...FUNNY HAHAHA.
This an awesome song, don't see why everybody seems to hate this song. Just because its not incredibly intelligent. And anyways he's written worse
He's also written better.
LMAO! These lyrics crack me up everytime i read them.
Name a worse Neil song.
T-Bone could have been shorter...
T-Bone could have been shorter...
This song is pure gold, for the simple reason that it is just blunt and to the point and the humor in it makes me laugh every time I hear it. Even though the fans expect Neil to be arty and clever, I like the contrast here, and it is funny that so many people think this is dumbed down for Neil, when in essence it is a statement about the general public's gullibility to keep buying what is being sold to them without question.
