lyrics

My grandpa was a farmer when he was young, then he made stuff in a factory.

Grandpa sits us down every Sunday
He always smells so strong of the factory
Says sixty hours a week is nothing
He makes a decent life
For his kids and wife
But he feels stultified
He doesn’t use his mind
Farm stories of 80 hours working
He used his muscles but also his intelligence
Talks about how he really misses those horses
Now he makes a decent life
For his kids and wife
But he feels stultified
He doesn’t use his mind
Grandpa, tell us what’ll happen when you’re irrelevant
When robots make all the workers in the factories useless
Maybe then will you proudly talk of the tedious?
Look back fondly on the days when you felt so oppressed
Preferring exploitation to total nothingness
At least now you make a decent life
For your kids and wife
Sure you feel stultified
And you hardly use your mind
But you make a decent life
For your kids and wife
Sure you feel stultified
But you bring home a dime
