Lost In Space
it is hard to explain
that unemployed means
society has lost your name
life steals your future away
life says,
pull over to the side
and watch your tomorrows go by
don't worry
AAA, On-Star and GPS won't find you
So, you call
Hello, Houston
this is lost shuttle
Roger lost shuttle, this Houston go ahead
my employment tile has fallen off
my finance and responsibility tiles are loose
lost shuttle needs repairs
re-entry into society on hold, copy?
Roger lost shuttle, this Houston
maintain your orbit
help will be there someday, copy
Roger Houston, this is lost shuttle
can you please respond promptly
it is cold and dark out here
