Joblessness

AJoblessness is rough ask me Friends vanish believe me Your Family rejects you And your other half blames you Joblessness is tough believe me Your incapability become laziness And your jokes only bring sadness You become a broken piece of the puzzle That fits no more Like the gloomy old days of the struggle Joblessness is no good believe me Society subjects you to constant surveillance As if your situation was an act of defiance Powers of the universe retrieve your soul As I play no role and my life is out of control
