"'''Thingmaker'''" is the fourth track on the 1992 release ''[[The Family Jams]]''. The song was inspired by a man referred to in ''[[The Long Hard Road out of Hell]]'' as Carl, who intentionally looked and acted like [[Marilyn Manson|Manson]], used the image of a gnarled, twisted tree that Manson had created in a poster for another local band; and how Manson was sick of his stealing from him. Manson's then-girlfriend, referred to as Teresa, was also implied to have been having an affair with Carl.

You want to look like me

+
You can't begin to see that you and me makes we

+
So fuck you

+
Imitation's not a flattery, so
+
you can't begin to feel,
+
you can't begin to feel,
+
you can't begin to feel,
+
I said fuck you
+
+
I don't want to know you,
+
I don't want to know...
+
+

+

==Lyrics==
* The name of this song comes from a '60s/'70s toy line from Mattel where "creepy" figurines could be made using pre-existing molds. Another clue to this meaning comes from ''[[The Family Jams]]'' demo which dedicates the song to "the creeple people" (Creeple Peeple) — one of the names for the completed figurines.
