Man vs machine, broken limbs,.. Lyrics by Chris Holt. Keyboards by the wonderful Bruce Alger of Blind Owl fame.

lyrics

Oscar your not half the man that we grew to love
You're smiling still but your eyes can't hide
what the years have made so rough

Oscar you didn't come around like you did back then
You turned them on then they turned you off
and I heard you broke your hand

Mechanization, new god of the nation
We've got machines now that make you obsolete (we got a machine)
Mechanization, new god of the nation
Production quotas are mounting daily while you rot in your seat

Oscar theres a place for you and you'll find it soon I know
You're trying still, no haven't died
man you made the good times so

Oscar, you didn't come around like you did back then
You turned us on and it turned me off
when I heard you broke your hand

Mechanization, new god of the nation
We've got machines now that make you obsolete (we got a machine)
Mechanization, new god of the nation
Production quotas are mounting daily while you rot in your seat
