If we automated income distribution
So that everybody got their checks
We'd not fear the coming of machines.
The loss of jobs would not vex.
It's only because in our system
Earnings are so tied to production
It seems obvious that the system must change
That's the necessary and logical deduction.
For if there were automation to the nth degree
So that nobody had a job
There'd be no consumers to buy the goods
There'd only be an angry mob.
Before we get anywhere near that point
Rationality will prevail, I posit.
Before that happens something else must come first
Socialists must come out of the closet.
