Out of work
Unemployed
It’s only been 2 days
You’re overjoyed.
Two weeks later
Unemployment check arrives
Much smaller than your pay
How will you survive?
Getting drunk and getting high
Drinking beer in the early afternoon
Watching ESPN and daytime T.V.
Hoping something comes up soon
On the internet looking for a job
Used to drink beer everyday
Times are tough
Not sure you can get the same pay.
Your old lady is asking questions
She is on your case
You tell her not to worry
But she just gets in your face.
You could spend this free time *******
But she’s got her head all messed up
She thinks there is a crisis
Nagging you while you’re down on your luck
She now makes more money than you
She holds all the cards
She tells you what you doing wrong
She likes being in charge.
What could have been a grand old time
Now has turned into an awful bind
You sit there and stew and stew
She can’t keep her mouth shut and lays into you.
She nags and nags and nags
Why don’t you apply over here she brags.
Every time she walks in you let out a sigh
You sink down in the couch and try and hide
She begins to speak you roll your eyes
She can’t give it a rest why why why?
And now she becomes the one you despise
Why can’t she just let sleeping dogs lie?
You have two choices before you.
Get a job or dump her
You know what to do
Chances are she has already made a choice about you.
