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...
