[Verse 1]
I wince when you map out how to get it together
And collect my troubles and brave the weather
Unlocking a freak bag of stolen images
An organized zoo and earthquake glue
[Verse 2]
A challenge, what to go for and celebrate
With the stock market tumbling
And the rock market crumbling
So where am I now?
For I am a soldier
A trophy mule
[Verse 1]
I wince when you map out how to get it together
And collect my troubles and brave the weather

Robert Pollard, quoted in the biography Closer You Are:
Well, a trophy mule would be some stubborn fuckin' prize. You know—intransigent asshole. That was probably me. I’m a trophy mule, yeah. It’s true, too. I don’t do what they want me to do.
