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 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 Soup is good food (we don't need you any more) You made a good meal (we don't need you any more) Now how does it feel (we don't need you any more) To be shit out our ass 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 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 Soup is good food (we don't need you any more) You made a good meal (we don't need you any more) Now how does it feel (we don't need you any more) To be shit out our ass And thrown in the cold 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 Aw geez! We don't need you any more We don't need you any more Soup is good food (we don't need you any more) You made a good meal (we don't need you any more) Now how does it feel (we don't need you any more) To be shit out our ass And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash 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 "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

it wasn't raining in Oklahoma

A true man, not like the clowns (wokers) nowadays.

Biafra is an acquired taste. I acquired the taste in 87 myself. All thats hapoened since and DK is more socially relevant than ever. Greetings fellow travellers.

Soup really is good food this growing boy needs his lunch

We don't need you anymore: Capitalism's #1 motto

HATE IT OR LOVE IT THE UNDERDOGS ON TOP AND IM GONNA RHYME HOMIE UNTIL MY HEART STOP

Wouldn’t you love to hear his current commentary on this prophetic prose during this time with increasing poverty and global warming…I would. ..His silent voice is clearly missed.

Rain…. Water is powerful and so was this poem…

If you think 7 days of rain is too much, try 6mnths here in Wales !

In the years 2024, '25, '26, '27, we'll have money, unlimited capital and it will come like heavy rainfall/

The Randy Newman of punk 😆

Its weird man.

He paints a picture with his words and takes you back in time and you can really feel what he was feeling then and when he was a kid. Amazing writing.

😀👍👍👍👍 muito legal

This should be the song for many people of this generation. Perfect fit!

Zero hour contracts be like

my dad listened to this

True so far as I can tell &&^》

God bless CHB, I know damn good and well that I'm not the only one he got thru some dark times. Share this great contemporary with all your friends and family. We need more Bukowski no matter what he said 😊

sheesh

I think a really sad part about this song is that it's still relevant.

Well the human populous is definitely soup these days

Like a vivisection of my childhood.

👇People who got it from Watch dogs 2

after my gran died it rained for a month

Fallout 4

So Ive heared that THE SVB failed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4Svppilq7GJhZI

I greet swoogies with the barrel of a shotgun

Lol there was a 3-6 years long drought during the great depression, which turned the plain field states (Texas, Arkansas and especially Oklahoma) into "Dust holes"

Really feeling this as an artist right now because people are using AI "art" to profit instead of commissioning real artists.

Listening after a discussion about tech and AI, the layoffs of tech jobs and every other kind of job. The return of child labor to lower socioeconomic jobs. The replacement of agriculture workers by machines…. The shitty possibilities are endless, and we’re seeing threads of this song’s predictions for our bleak future everywhere. Scary.

Well this song hasn’t aged a day

Yes! Same with Burroughs!! I said that in my comment on Junky Christmas, the claymation Gem.

Whatever. This is exactly what Jello supported with the covid mandates. Fucking hypocrite. Never thought I would ever have to say that about him.

Called Geoengineering actions aka the new climate change fabricated MUMBO JUMBO to enslave even MORE the already slaves of Bolshevik techno totalitarian screening horrors a la CARTE!!!!!

Thank you. I love Bukowski so much ❤️👍✌️🇦🇺

One of the saddest things I have ever heard. Thank you for this.

I love how he reads poetry and his stories are fascinating.

Time to stock the shelter with some soup

R/antiworks theme song
