Unemployed

I’m unemployed

And old enough to realize

That’s just not cool,

While kids around me

Friends of friends of parent's kids,

Are working their way

Into small names at big companies,

And it’s my job to clap for them,

To make them feel success

At selling out young,

While I give in all I have

All I’ve ever wanted

To live a dream

Worth chasing pennies for

Because I love the way

They click when they fall into

My piggy bank.
