Unemployment

Im unable to diagnose, or come close 
To why employment says adios

I cant keep a job, Only god knows why
My plans go awry, but I continue to apply

Each passing moment echos each passing day
Has it been 3 months since I've been paid

My parents look on with frustration in their faces
Getting ready To turn and draw at 10 paces

Depression, Aggression, 10 minutes left in our session
Saddle Up soldier, its time to go to war
But this is the job market not the marine corp

Some doubt that I can make it, but I will not quit
There is very little in this world that would make me submit

Paper dollars of money, Credit card distractions
The smell of money, and electronic transactions

My hard work has paid off, I have an interview at three
With all these late bills, Im just glad that its free
