Graças a Pacheco Pereira

LaughJohnLaugh
e o seu The Unemployed Blues



(ideia inteiramente  copiada do programa Ponto Contraponto de Pacheco Pereira, ontem na SIC Notícias, infelizmente sem as legendas em português).

The Unemployment Blues 

Thought I could do it better I could do it all
Little did I know I was headed for a fall
I put in the trouble, I put in the sweat
Got the job I wanted, bought a new Corvette
seven years in college, to achieve my dream
Never thought I'd end up, with food stamps to redeem

I've got the blues …
I was laid off last week don't know what I will do
I'm gonna go on line with the unemployment blues

I've got the blues ...

To sing I am unable to beg I am too proud
not strong enough to dig a ditch or drag a plow
got no money, got no job,
what can I do different? on the sofa like a slob
looking for a job the city seems so cold,
for all my applications no one ever phones

I've got the blues …
I was laid off last week don't know what I will do
I'm gonna go on-line with the unemployment blues

I've got the blues ...

I worked hard for 3 years before I got laid off
The boss still owes me money, times are really tough
then someone knew somebody, wanted to see me
(But) I chose the wrong direction, saw Queen's in misery
got a one-way ticket to the line around the block
I'm going to write a song called the unemployment rock

I've got the blues ...

Got a one way ticket to the line around the block
I'm going to write a song called the unemployment rock
