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

And this is what you get for asking questions

The unions agree sacrifices must be made

Computers never go on strike

To save the workin' man

You gotta put him out to pasture

Looks like we 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 anymore)

You make a good meal (We don't need you anymore)

How does it feel to be shit out our ass (We don't need you anymore)

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 (We don't need you anymore)

You make a good meal (We don't need you anymore)

Now how does it feel to be shit out our ass (We don't need you anymore)

And thrown in the cold?

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

Till 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 disposal unit

Ground into stew and then flushed away, aw gee

(We don't need you anymore)

(We don't need you anymore)

Soup is good food (We don't need you anymore)

You make a good meal (We don't need you anymore)

Now how does it feel to be shit out our ass? (We don't need you anymore)

And dumped in a hole like a piece of trash (We don't need you anymore)

We know how much you'd like to die (We don't need you anymore)

We joke about it on our coffee breaks (We don't need you anymore)

But we're paid to force you to have a nice day (We don't need you anymore)

In the wonderful world we made just for you (We don't need you anymore)

Poor rats, we human rodents chuckle

At least we get a dignified cremation

Yet, at six o'clock tomorrow morning, it's time to get up and go to work
