[Verse 1] You wanted a life of ease
A world free of drudgery
Everything done by machines
You wanted a life of ease

[Chorus] Now you'll never work in this town again
You'll never work in this town again
No, no

[Verse 2] 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

[Chorus] And you'll never work in this town again
You'll never work in this town again

[Verse 3] You wanted a life of ease
A world free of drudgery
Everything done by machines
Well here it is, your life of ease

[Verse 4] 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

[Chorus] 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

[Outro] No, no
You'll never work in this town again, girl
No, no
You'll never work in this town again, boy
No, no
You'll never work in this town again, girl
