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
Computers never go on strike
You've got to put him out to pasture
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
(We don't need you any more)
(We don't need you any more)
(We don't need you any more)
And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash
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
Your number's been purged
From our central computer
And sweep you under the rug
See our chart? Unemployment's going down
If that ruins your life that's your problem
(We don't need you any more)
(We don't need you any more)
(We don't need you any more)
And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash
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
Til' even the outside world looks great
In hi-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 dispose all unit
Ground into sludge and flushed away
We don't need you any more
We don't need you any more
(We don't need you any more)
(We don't need you any more)
(We don't need you any more)
And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash
