Charles got a job in a factory
Drilling sheet metal, six 'til three
Worked extra hours for a better wage
Lost in his task quite needlessly
Noticed his brain was a plastic box
His work rate improved 'cause he couldn't stop
He couldn't eat lunch with those metal hands
His legs were supports for new inner glands
Next when I saw him his face was gone
A stainless steel spine now instead of bone
His arms became grafted onto the switch
Six months without food made it quite a trip
His wife soon returned from her open grief
She told his employer she'd kids to keep
They gave her the scrap price of his machine
Last weekend Charles became obsolete
