Charles got a job in a factoryCarlos consiguió un trabajo en una fábrica
Drilling sheet metal from six till threePerforando láminas de metal de seis a tres
Worked extra hours for a better wageTrabajaba horas extras por un mejor salario
Got lost in his task quite needlesslySe perdió en su tarea de manera innecesaria
I noticed his brain was a plastic boxNoté que su cerebro era una caja de plástico
His work rate improved 'cause he couldn't stopSu ritmo de trabajo mejoró porque no podía parar
He couldn't eat lunch with those metal handsNo podía almorzar con esas manos de metal
His legs were supports for new inner glandsSus piernas eran soportes para nuevas glándulas internas
Next when I saw him his face was goneDespués, cuando lo vi, su rostro se había ido
A stainless steel spine now instead of boneUna columna de acero inoxidable en lugar de hueso
His arms became grafted onto the switchSus brazos se fusionaron con el interruptor
Six months without food made it quite a tripSeis meses sin comida lo convirtieron en un viaje bastante extraño
His wife soon returned from her open griefSu esposa pronto regresó de su dolor abierto
She told his employer she had kids to keepLe dijo a su empleador que tenía hijos que mantener
They gave her the scrap price of his machineLe dieron el precio de chatarra de su máquina
Last weekend Charles became obsoleteEl fin de semana pasado, Carlos se volvió obsoleto
