Lost Jobs Blues

[Verse] Well, Jonah's sittin' at the corner, With a cigarette burnin' slow, Got a pal named Dave right beside him, And the story's one you've gotta know. [Verse 2] They worked the factory line together, Swingin' those wrenches side by side, Till the robots rolled in one summer, And left 'em with nowhere to hide. [Chorus] Oh, who'da thought it would happen, Machines takin' over our pay, Now Jonah and Dave are snappin', In a world that's gone astray. [Verse 3] Jonah never thought he'd see it, Replaced by a cold metal hand, While Dave just laughed and said, "I told ya!" Now they're tryin' to understand. [Bridge] The jukebox plays a mournful number, And the bar's a little dim, Jonah's dreams are torn asunder, While Dave's got a wry little grin. [Verse 4] Jonah still rolls them memories over, Of the good ol' days and sweat, But Dave just clinks his glass sober, "Here's to the future, you bet."
