barbara dane - unemployment compensation blues lyrics

Loading...

i’ve got those unemployment compensation
“please fill out an application.” blues
i’ve got those “how much money did you earn?
stand in line and wait your turn” blues

they make me feel i’m committing a sin
just to get back part of what i put in
i’ve got those “have you had an interview?
come back in a week or two” blues

i’ve got those unemployment compensation
“what was your last occupation?” blues
i’ve got those “state your weekly minimum
you don’t wanna work, you b-m” blues

when i’m through with my weekly go-round
spend half my check trying to get my poor self down
i’ve got those “trying to get those little checks
making me a nervous wreck” blues

i’ve got those 22-page application
stand in line exasperation blues
i’ve got those “state your grandma’s middle name
are those really all your kids you claim?” blues

well, i see my story’s making you blue
by the look on your faces you’ve been there too
i’ve got those “sorry, we’ve misplaced your file
come back in a little while” blues

i’ve got those unemployment compensation
“it ain’t worth the aggravation” blues
i’ve got those “won’t you wait and have a chair?
nothin’ in my frigidaire” blues

i’m tired of feelin’ like a jerk
all i really want is a chance to work
and lose those out-of-work humiliation
unemployment compensation blues
