Unemployment Shuffle – Blues

I’m a flag waving American working man
A 401 family praying for some land
Voted for change honor and security
Million’s mocking God create austerity

Paid into the system now it’s my turn to take
Laid-off a bad dream worry has me awake
Run to wait in line early morning hustle
Slide on in doing the Unemployment Shuffle – Blues

Standing hanging my head eyes glued on the time
Drag my point of view up to the white line
Ten toes straight ahead paper in my hand
Answer; “yes, yes, no, no,” see ya ain’t life grand

Men and women want jobs not a handshake
Make my call back limit before I break
Another week through the hustle bustle
Slide on in doing the Unemployment Shuffle – Blues

What’s a country do to bring help fast
When will the dark cloud be blowing past
A humble heart will pray to God at last
America please get on your knees

I’m a flag waving American working man
A 401 family praying for some land
Voted for change honor and security
Million’s mocking God create austerity

Paid into the system now it’s my turn to take
Laid-off a bad dream worry has me awake
Run to wait in line early morning hustle
Slide on in doing the Unemployment Shuffle – Blues
Slide on in doing the Unemployment Shuffle – Blues

Unemployment, Unemployment Shuffle – Blues
