Job Seeker Blues

Job Seeker Blues.

We all have, a human face,

No rat RACE!

Get a job or you'll not get paid,

Still get LAID!

Online, and job search done,

Round of applause; EVERYONE!

Unemployment's dropped, We're just a number, Massaged figures will spoil YOUR slumber! Government says it will pay to work,

With the minimum wage you should see THEIR smirk! It's not the money that upsets my mind,

It's the Do's and Don'ts that REALLY grind!

Last one in, is first one out,

Made redundant, is what THEY'LL shout!

Youngsters grow, take elders job,

To the scrap heap, gently SOB!

You're not yet fifty, many years to go,

Job Seeker Blues, time goes too SLOW!

Give us a job, I'll work real hard,

Sweat and blood on my TIME card!

Keep applying but everything's gone,

"Get on your bike” was Tebbit's SONG!

Competitive spirit, whittled with time,

In the system, committed no CRIME!
