We're sorry
|
But you're no longer needed
|
Or wanted
|
Or even cared about here
|
Machines can do a better job than you
|
This is what you get for asking questions
|
|
The unions agree
|
'Sacrifices must be made'
|
Computers never go on strike
|
To save the working man you've got to put him out to pasture
|
|
Looks like we'll have to let you go
|
Doesn't it feel fulfilling to know
|
That you-the human being-are now obsolete
|
And there's nothing in hell we'll let you do about it
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Soup is good food-(We don't need you any more)
|
You made a good meal-(We don't need you any more)
|
Now how do you feel-(We don't need you any more)
|
To be shit out our ass
|
And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash
|
We're sorry
|
You'll just have to leave
|
Unemployment runs out after just six weeks
|
How does it feel to be a budget cut?
|
You're snipped
|
You no longer exist
|
|
Your number's been purged from our central computer
|
So we can rig the facts
|
And sweep you under the rug
|
See our chart? Unemployment's going down
|
If that ruins your life that's your problem
|
|
Soup is Good Food, Etc.
|
We're sorry
|
We hate to interrupt
|
But it's against the law to jump off this bridge
|
You'll just have to kill yourself somewhere else
|
A tourist might see you
|
And we wouldn't want that
|
|
I'm just doing my job, you know
|
So say uncle
|
And we'll take you to the mental health zoo
|
Force feed you mind-melting chemicals
|
Til even the outside world looks great
|
|
In hi-tech science research labs
|
It costs too much to bury all the dead
|
The mutilated disease-injected
|
Surplus rats who can't be used anymore
|
|
So they're dumped (with no minister present)
|
In a spiraling corkscrew dispose-all unit
|
Ground into sludge and flushed away
|
Aw geez:.
|
|
Soup is good food
|
You made a good meal, etc:.
|
We know how much you'd like to die
|
We joke about it on our coffee breaks
|
But we're paid to force you to have a nice day
|
In the wonderful world we made just for you
|
"Poor Rats", we human rodents chuckle
|
At least we get a dignified cremation
|
At yet
|
At 6:00 tomorrow morning
|
It's time to get up and go to work
|
