The Automation Song

Hey, they like to improve their competitive position
They say, “we don’t need you,” smile in my face
They think, they’re so cute when they got my clients conditioned
Well, I think, it’s a total disgrace

I fight automation, automation always wins
I fight automation, automation always wins
I’ve been doing Paid, since I was a young kid
I’ve come out grinnin’
I fight automation, automation always wins

So I call up my teacher
I challenge programmatic
She said, “Robots do it better, you need to grow up, son”
I said, “Robots lead to obsolescence and then to failing,
And failing to me don’t sound like all that much fun”

I fight automation, automation always wins
I fight automation, automation always wins
I’ve been doing Paid since I was a young kid
I’ve come out grinnin’
I fight automation, automation always wins

I fight automation, automation always wins
I fight automation, automation always wins
I been doing Paid since I was a young kid
I’ve come out grinnin’
I fight automation, automation always wins

Oh no
Oh no
I fight automation, automation always wins

I fight automation, automation always wins
I fight automation, automation always wins
I been doing Paid since I was a young kid
I’ve come out grinnin’
I fight automation, automation always wins
I fight automation, automation always wins
I fight automation, automation always wins
I been doing Paid since I was a young kid
I’ve come out grinnin’
I fight automation, automation always wins
