You'll Never Work In This Town Again - The Divine Comedy

You wanted a life of ease

A world free of drudgery

Everything done by machines

You wanted a life of ease

Now you’ll never work in this town again

You’ll never work in this town again

No, no

Ned Ludd was a working man

Things changed and it forced his hand

He took a hammer and he made a stand

'Cause Ned Ludd was a working man

Now you’ll never work in this town again

You’ll never work in this town again

You wanted a life of ease

A world free of drudgery

Everything done by machines

Well here it is, your life of ease

That crazy algorithm has you in its sway

It’s making the decisions for you every day

You’re living in a prison of your own design

That crazy algorithm’s making up your mind

You’ll never work in this town again, girl

You’ll never work in this town again

You’ll never work in this town again, boy

You’ll never work in this town again

No, no…
