steve satten - unemployment blues lyrics
i had an appointment on the line at unemployment
i’m a number in an old card file
i looked around and saw all the cigarettes on the floor
knew i was gonna be here for a while
the flag was in the corner standin’ not so tall
n0body cared about the flag
the line was getting longer or the place was gettin’ small
everybody screamin’ “what a drag, what a drag”
on line again at unemployment
and i’m fillin’ for another claim
on line again at unemployment
and i’m playin’ the same old game
cashier’s in the corner, she’s standin’ near the flag
and she’s chewin’ on a piece of gum
it’s takin’ kind of long to make out my weekly check
that’s because she’s really kinda dumb
on line again (again) at unemployment
and i’m fillin’ for another claim
(here i am)
again (again) at unemployment
and i’m playin’ the same old game
(again)
(here i am)
(again)
(again)
(here i am)
(again)
there’s nothin’ to say and there’s nothin’ to do
just countin’ the weeks go by
am i gonna collect extended benefits?
you bet your ass i’m gonna try
the atmosphere was bleak a i went walkin’ through the street
lookin’ for a place to cash my check
i went walkin’ through this door, saw more cigarettes on the floor
what else could i expect?
on line again (again) at unemployment
and i’m fillin’ for another claim
(here i am)
again (again) at unemployment
and i’m playin’ the same old game
gimme my check
’cause i’m hungry
i said gimme my check
[?]
i [?]
i stand in this line all day long
