New Zach Bryan Song Uses Dusty Rhodes’ ‘Hard Times’ Audio

Country singer Zach Bryan released a new song on YouTube titled “Robot Killed The Working Man” that uses audio of late WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes’ famous “Hard Times” promo. The track opens with audio of Dusty Rhodes’ famous promo from Mid-Atlantic Wrestling on Oct. 29, 1985.

In the track, Bryan sings about “the day the robot killed the working man,” replacing working men with computers and machines. Here are some of the lyrics of the chorus:

“The robot killed the working man
Took the nail and hammer right out of his hands
Sealed up the coffin, sold off the land
Replaced the good book with machines in their hands
Sooner or later, more soon than not
Them homegrown tomatoes all ripen then rot
With no rhyme or reason and no helping hand
The day the robot killed the working man”

The official audio of the new track is available below.
