    "The View" is a single by American singer Lou Reed and American heavy metal band Metallica. It is the only single taken from the studio album Lulu, released on September 27, 2011.

    The song was poorly received by fans of Reed and Metallica. The song also spawned a popular meme among fans and critics alike, likening James Hetfield to a table, due to Hetfield yelling "I am the table" towards the end of the song. The meme spawned numerous edits to Hetfield's Wikipedia page where "table" was added to his professions.

    don't look at me...don't call me
    with your worthless words
    my voice is lost from all the screaming before
    circuits and pens...they couldn't change a thing
    your apology is so long overdue
    i crumbled eighteen years
