Man Against Machine

Papa They're waiting just outside my door This is where I make make my stand 'Cause I can't stand it anymore Papa They have no heart and soul But make no doubt about it They're the ones that's in control So prepare yourself for a war unlike you've ever seen This is man against machine (Work, Work, Work) Day in day out Bust your back and turn it out Next morning and do it all again Hard job or two So your children won't have to That's just the way its always been But lately I swear the machines Are living the American dream Careful calculations Details drawn down to design Is it really for the better or a better bottom line Don't know me from Adam Man it's rotten to the core Strongly get reminded man has kicked its ass before John Henry's about to show on the scene In this war of man against machine Work Work Work Work Up early up hills Spend your youth to pay the bills Each generation makes a trade Top floor brass tacks Holds the hand that holds the ax Acts like my dues have not been paid But pay attention now when I say Full automation isn't happening today Careful calculations Details drawn down to design Is it really for the better or a better bottom line You don't know me from Adam and it's rotten to the core It's gonna get reminded man has kicked its ass before John Henry's about to blow off some steam In this war of man against the machine Work Work Work Work Work Work Papa The power's off, the machines are down In this world of darkness I can still hear a sound Papa That sound tears us apart 'Cause I'm a machine myself But I am one with a working heart Careful calculations Details drawn down to design Is it really for the better or a better bottom line Don't know me from Adam Man it's rotten to the core It's gonna get reminded man has kicked its ass before The gloves are off, no love lost between In this war of man against the machine Work Work Work Work Against the machine Work Work Work Work
