Robots Only Need Apply

The warehouse hums with a cold, steel glow
Humanoids move where my feet used to go
They stack all the boxes, no sweat, no sigh
In our strange new world, Robots only need apply

The diner seems quiet, false laughs, little cheer
Now chrome servers glide where my friends still drink beer
They serve all the food, always say hi
The sign on the door says, Robots only need apply

My hands are idle, my hope all but gone
It feels as if life is now one big con
The bots don’t get tired, they never ask why
Every job is the same now, robots only need apply

We walk the streets now our future’s been sold
We are out of place in a world hard and cold
They provide us with cash but we might as well die
In this strange world, robots only need apply
