Soup is good food

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
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
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
