Unemployed 83 You were always reminding me about how stupid I was But whatever you said I didn't give a toss You promised me a proper job and a proper pay But when I joined the union, you sacked me You were giving me orders, do this and do that I was working me sick while you were getting fat You were the boss and I was your slave And you were always counting the money That you made Chorus: Ain't got no job, ain't got no money Do you really think that's so funny? You were giving orders what to do but now I'm thru with you, fuck you I'm so useless, I'm so worthless So now I'm unemployed I'm so useless, I'm so worthless So now I'm unemployed You were giving me orders, do this and do that I was working me sick while you were getting fat You were the boss and I was your slave And you were always counting the money That you made Chorus: Sometimes I'd like to kick in your brain 'Cause all your orders were driving me insane Now I no longer take more of your crap And I didn't give a damn when you got me sacked Chorus:

I just wished they'd let me be Chorus: Playing music, having a good time My neighbours want me to turn it down They hate me and my style And they hope I'll move away Chorus:
