Dead Kennedys - Soup Is Good Food Lyrics
Were sorryBut youre no longer neededOr wantedOr even cared about hereMachines can do a better job than youThis is what you get for asking questionsThe unions agreesacrifices must be madeComputers never go on strikeTo save the working man youve got to put him out to pastureLooks like well have to let you goDoesnt it feel fulfilling to knowThat youthe human beingare now obsoleteAnd theres nothing in hell well let you do about itChorusSoup is good food(we dont need you any more)You made a good meal(we dont need you any more)Now how do you feel(we dont need you any more)To be shit out our assAnd thrown in the cold like a piece of trashWere sorryYoull just have to leaveUnemployment runs out after just six weeksHow does it feel to be a budget cut?Youre snippedYou no longer existYour numbers been purged from our central computerSo we can rig the factsAnd sweep you under the rugSee our chart? unemployments going downIf that ruins your life thats your problemSoup is good food, etc.Were sorryWe hate to interruptBut its against the law to jump off this bridgeYoull just have to kill yourself somewhere elseA tourist might see youAnd we wouldnt want thatIm just doing my job, you knowSo say uncleAnd well take you to the mental health zooForce feed you mind-melting chemicalsTil even the outside world looks greatIn hi-tech science research labsIt costs too much to bury all the deadThe mutilated disease-injectedSurplus rats who cant be used anymoreSo theyre dumped (with no minister present)In a spiraling corkscrew dispose-all unitGround into sludge and flushed awayAw geez.Soup is good foodYou made a good meal, etc.We know how much youd like to dieWe joke about it on our coffee breaksBut were paid to force you to have a nice dayIn the wonderful world we made just for youPoor rats, we human rodents chuckleAt least we get a dignified cremationAt yetAt 6:00 tomorrow morningIts time to get up and go to work
