lyrics
Out of Work
By Robert Deioma
Do you ever feel, like your life’s a drag
Like you just can’t win, unemployed again
Do you ever feel, your patience wearing thin
Gonna lose your car and your house to them
Do you ever feel your bills are crazy deep
Screaming, stressing out, and now you’re even losing sleep
Do you know that there may still be hope for you
Though you’re getting screwed …
You just got to realize, That’s life, No it’s not right
So what, they lie! Don’t let them see you cry!
Cause Baby you are out of work
Can’t even be a file clerk
You thought everything was fi –i- ine
Now in the unemployment li-i-ine!
Baby you are out of work
Fill out applications like a jerk
They said you’re under qualify-i-ied
Then you’re over qualify-i-ied! (Make up your freakin Mind – spoken)
You don’t have to feel like a total fool
Cause you spent your time, graduating school
If you only knew, your job behind a desk
Would be outsourced to, somewhere in Bangladesh
That’s one reason why, all the doors are closed
And all the jobs are gone to where they say nobody knows
Because Republicans and the Democrats
Are all full of crap
You just got to realize, that’s life, no it’s not right
So what. They lie! Don’t let them see you cry!
Cause Baby you are out of work (add bg voc)
Can’t even be a file clerk (bg voc)
You thought everything was fi-i-ine
Now in the unemployment li-i-ine
Baby you are out of work
Fill out applications like a jerk
First you’re under qualify-i-ied
Then you’re over qualify-i-ied! (Make up your freakin’ mind – more insistant)
Zoom, zoom, zoom
Unemployment to the moon, moon, moon
Now I’m hangin’ out with you, you, you.
Cause I am unemployed too-oo-oo!
Cause Baby we are out of work (no bg voc)
Can’t even be a file clerk
Thought everything was fi-i-ine
Now in the unemployment li-i-ine
Baby we are out of work (bg voc)
Fill out applications like a jerk
They said we’re under qualify-i-ied
Then said we’re over qualify-i-ied! ~~~~~~
(Make up your freakin’ mind – yelling)
~~~~~~-ied (carry over)
Zoom, zoom, zoom
Unemployment to the moon, moon, moon
Zoom, zoom, zoom
Unemployment to the moon, moon, moon
