I was laid off work the other day
Something about how
The work here is slowing down
So they need to make their cuts OH!
And it sucks 'cause
I was able to work from home
Now I gotta find a temp
I put in an application at the nearest Publix
Putting myself at risk
But I gotta do what I can to stay alive
Even if it means
Putting myself in the public
Just so we can eat
But it doesn't even matter
'Cause they called me back
And told me they were swamped
With other applications
Don't know what else to do
The unemployment site won't even load
So I guess this is recession
Fuel for crippling depression
Wouldn't be surprised if the suicide
Rate is climbing to new heights
Hell I've thought about it myself
But I keep telling myself
That we'll make it through
Gotta keep trudging along
Yeah this can't last forever
Just gotta do my part
I mean we've already made it this far
So just grab your guitar
And scream it out like you did so long ago
Way back in high school
I haven't touched this thing in years
I guess the depression started
Way before this all began
I haven't sat alone with my thoughts this long
Since I started my work life
How has it been 8 years already
The f*cking time is flying by
So I guess this is recession
Fuel for crippling depression
But I've made it this far in life
28 Years of wasted time
If I give in to what's burning in my head
Give it time instead
