Frustrations of Job Searching

Bike Ride
On my way home from work
Got laid off, what a joke
Car is on E
Is this what’s like to have a college degree?
Got home sat down typed up some rhymes
Thinking maybe someone someday will pick up my lines
All I want to do is live the American dream
Like you see on TV
Been searching for that dream
On websites like Monster and SHRM
Frustrated to say the least
Trying to stay ahead
Fuck it, I’m going to go ride my bike instead.
 
Cheers
Here I am not feeling so well
Lying in bed if you can’t tell
Almost graduated getting a degree
That’s what the world said would set me free
 But here I am on my knees
Looking for a job- I’m not alone
Flashy insurance man with heavy cologne
Telling me to tell people to sell their souls
                Nahh man that’s not the job for me
Standing now on my two feet
Still don’t have a job, feeling some defeat
 But up here I can see
The world around me drinking Hennessey
 Spending on credit
-You don’t have
 Living large
-You can’t afford
 Giving false hope to the masses
Come on lets tip our glasses
Come on let it go
The world around you is nothing but a show
So tip you glasses lets say cheers
The whole world around you is in tears
