Soup Is Good Food

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 working man You've got to put him out to pasture [Pre-Chorus] 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? [Chorus] Soup is good food (We don't need you anymore) You make a good meal (We don't need you anymore) So, how does it feel to be shit out our ass And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash? [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 And thrown in the cold? [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus] In high-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 sludge and flushed away Aw, geez! [Refrain] We don't need you anymore We don't need you anymore [Chorus] 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 And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash? [Post-Chorus] 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 [Outro] "Poor rats," we human rodents chuckle "At least we get a dignified cremation" Yet, at 6:00 tomorrow morning It's time to get up and go to work
