Knowpeace - Autonation Lyrics

Since the implementation of the plough, machinery has replaced
So much human toil
Production has increased exponentially, we can support so many now
We can focus on other things: spiritual meaning
The only thing is without a useful purpose now a machine does
Your work , you've been tossed out on the scrapheap
Like so many left behind
The need for human labour wains as population soars
Will they still owe us a living?
What are we working towards?
An automatic world?
If the machines did our bidding, would we all be free?
Emancipated from our structured work and sleep routines?
Would we forget about our struggles? and the pressures
We despised? or strive to produce capital to justify our lives?
When they don't need us, will they still feed us?
Will we be allowed to live and not produce?
Or left to starve now factories can run themselves?
When the don't need us will they still feed us?
Automated production could feed the wealthy few
Surplus ex-producers can find something else to do
They rendered themselves useless when they
Mechanised the world
Now they don't need us, will they still feed us?

Since the implementation of the plough, machinery has replaced
So much human toil
Production has increased exponentially, we can support so many now
We can focus on other things: spiritual meaning
The only thing is without a useful purpose now a machine does
Your work , you've been tossed out on the scrapheap
Like so many left behind
The need for human labour wains as population soars
Will they still owe us a living?
What are we working towards?
An automatic world?
If the machines did our bidding, would we all be free?
Emancipated from our structured work and sleep routines?
Would we forget about our struggles? and the pressures
We despised? or strive to produce capital to justify our lives?
When they don't need us, will they still feed us?
Will we be allowed to live and not produce?
Or left to starve now factories can run themselves?
When the don't need us will they still feed us?
Automated production could feed the wealthy few
Surplus ex-producers can find something else to do
They rendered themselves useless when they
Mechanised the world
Now they don't need us, will they still feed us?
