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...
