Jobless America

(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
