lyrics

My dad and mom did things for customers.

Dad sells widgets, mom works part-time
down, at the bank
It’s an okay living, we’re safe and healthy
and we know, we have God to thank
Cuz despite what grandpa assured us
How a good thing’s bound to last
Yeah, despite what everyone promised
They’re not hiring at the plant
They’re not hiring at the plant
No, they’re not hiring at the plant
Now I go online, to buy my widgets
and I drive, to the ATM
Lost to the robot, lost to the spreadsheet
It’s all good, well maybe not for them
