Recorded live in concert at Burrinja Cafe, Upwey, Melbourne, Australia 2011

lyrics

Hey, hey isn’t this great
We can do it in half the time
We can oust those grim faced, dull blue collars
On the old-hat assembly line
It ain’t got no union, no holy communion
It can work seven days in a week
It’s got the best yet consequential earning potential
And we got it second hand for a steal

Hey, hey isn’t this great
Nobody on the factory floor
We just got one guy on it, keeping his eye on it
He doesn’t even know what it’s for
As a matter of fact he’s got a room out the back
With his fridge and his cable TV
And his only function is to monitor production
And to give the thing a bit of a clean

Amazing apparatus
It’s the latest and the greatest
You can make the payment monthly
Don’t you worry about the money
Well you can’t afford not to buy one buddy

Whoa-ho look at it go
It can pop ‘em out six at a round
When you hear that buzzin’ it’s another half-dozen
And it don’t ever wanna slow down
It’s so satisfying to see the world buying ‘em
They don’t stay long on the shelf
And there’s no pretence that it makes any sense
‘Cos it only makes more of itself

Amazing apparatus
It’s the latest and the greatest
You can make the payment monthly
Don’t you worry about the money
Well you can’t afford not to buy one buddy
