(to the tune of Irving Berlin's God Bless America, Kate Smith 1938 version )
- While the workers gather, far across the sea
- Let us wonder how, we stopped being free
- Let us all remember, old workplaces fair
- As we search for jobs, now no longer there
- Jobless America, no work for me
- Eating dog food, and unshoed
- As I hunt for a job and a home
- From the strip malls, to the Walmart
- To the Starbucks, brown with foam
- Jobless America
- My home sweet home
