The Store

A good friend of mine got laid off today. Seems to be a lot of that goin' around. Stinks.

Another long day,
Another long line,
Business at,
The unemployment store,
Is doin' just fine.

There's nothing,
For everyone,
Looking to find,
A way to get out of,
That crummy old line.

Cross the street,
Across from that store,
Is a factory sign,
There's no work anymore.
Closed till further notice,
Closed till better times.

It's there I was told,
That day I was done.

We're shippin' your job overseas,
Gotta pretty good deal,
Got labor for nothin',
And a real cheap factory,
We're shippin' the American dream,
We're shippin' it overseas,
Labor for nothin',
And a real cheap factory.

Another long day,
Another long line,
Business at the unemployment store,
Is doin' just fine.
