Computer took my job away from me
Computer took my job away from me
I was at work that mornin`
When the big trucks came
With the big machines inside
My boss had us all gather `round
He said `the computers gonna make,
they gonna make your work easier
Don`t you worry `bout a thing`
But don`t you know, don`t you know
When the work is too easy
Lord they don`t need you no more
Computer took my job away from me
Then the layoffs came
Puttin` good people out of work
For some people it`s the only work they know
Twenty long years I worked
I tried to live right
And they take it all away
Give the work back to the people
We don`t need a handout
Computer took my job away from me
Computer took my job away from me
Play organ now... [organ solo by Leo Davis]
Oh yea
Seems like your best just ain`t good enough
Give me my job
Give me back my job
Don`t you let, don`t you let the computer take it all away
Oh can`t you see
Can`t you see I need
Can`t you see I need, need my job
Computer took my job away from me
(What you say, sonny?)
Computer took my job away from me
Computer took my job away
I need it baby
Give the work back to the people
We don`t need a handout
Don`t take my job away
Hmmmm...
