Unemployment Line

By: Dennis Parks

Verse 1:

Prices are rising

Jobs are hard to find

How can we survive when the economy’s falling

Money’s getting low

There’s no place to go

So someone please help me

Chorus:

Losing my mind

Tryna make it on my own

Life’s  going bad

Make me feel so alone

Trying to keep head up

But it aint working

Standing here wondering

In the Unemployment Line

Verse 2:

Need gas for my car

Need food on the table

It’s like sailing on boat

But it’s hard to stay afloat

Time is winding down

People hurting all around

Why is it not making sense

Chorus:

Losing my mind

Tryna make on my own

Life’s  going bad

Make me feel so alone

Trying to keep head up

But it aint working

Standing here wondering

In the Unemployment Line

Bridge:

Hard for person to live in this world

Making our lives being so much worse

Stimulus Plans aint helping out

These jobs are going out

Is it just time for us to give up now

Desperately waiting

For a breakthrough to come

Hard to be here with no job, no cash, no food, no home

Chorus:

Losing my mind

Tryna make on my own

Life’s  going bad

Make me feel so alone

Trying to keep head up

But it aint working

Standing here wondering

In the Unemployment Line

In the Unemployment Line (Repeat for 6x then end)
