Unemployment Days Lyrics

Unemployment days

By: Ken David

Sitting all alone, talking on the phone

Everyone I know is out of work

And we're trying to survive, yeah, keep ourselves alive

But without money today you're treated like dirt

Wasting all my time, standing in a line

That's out in the streets every day at one

And by the time you get up to the desk

They say, "I'm sorry kid, you're a no good bum"

Unemployment, give me some dough

My bills are much more than you think

Cause I've been waiting for eight months or so

And I think that I've been driven to drink

Everybody's starving in America

I used to see some beautiful days

Now bodies standing in a line

The alternative is crime

Cause these are the good old unemployment days

Looking for a job or a store to rob

Just to get some food in your gut

And you can tell me it's amazing

But I know a girl is crazy

If she's got to work all night in the slums

Unemployment, give me some dough

My bills are much more than you think

Cause I've been waiting for eight months or so

And I think that I've been driven to drink

Unemployment, give me some dough

My bills are much more than you think

Cause I've been waiting for eight months or so

And I think that I've been driven to

Think that I've been driven to

Think that I've been driven to drink
