Youth unemployment
youth unenjoyment
a loan to destroy them
paid back by old men.
Old men are the best
eating kippers for breakfast and
burying themselves in the Readers Digest.
Their day is done, let the young ones
chase after the Sun,
but
the young ones are done ones as well
no chance in hell of securing the gift,
that lift that work gives you,
it's no wonder they're blue and
don't know what to do
except drink and blow dope.
Work shy? shy of hope? some manage to cope,
some do not.
The government's got some explaining to do after
their summer recess,
meanwhile,
in Malibu where the ocean's so blue
and the party is on,
all thoughts of the jobless and homeless are gone,
