about

I'm told that being unemployed stinks. The truth is, I didn't need telling because I have been unemployed a couple of times, and I know. This is for the millions unemployed out there right now. If you are unemployed, please don't hesitate to download this album for free. God bless.

lyrics

Days waiting for the mail
And hours spent on the phone
With some man I've never met from Chase Manhattan
I think he wants to take my home
That unemployment check, finally comes
Elation and relief
Shame and frustration
I know this really isn't me
It's this down economy

And it's hard, to get out of this feeling
That all this will pass through
Lord, all I can think of to ask
Is help us to get through

I know there are less fortunate ones
Whose needs outnumber mine
And I know that if I'm honest with myself
We'll probably be just fine
But it's scary when the jobs are scarce
Everywhere you look
And you realize your next job pays less
Than the last one that you took

The kids don't understand
That Daddy lost his job
They're all just excited
Cause I can tuck 'em in at night
But Lord I'm torn apart
To hope it won't be long
Till I'm back on the job
And I'll have to disappoint them
When they have to go back
To missin' me

And I have had, my legs knocked out from under
My ego's black and blue
And Lord, while I am down on my knees
My world broken in two
Yes, it's hard, when the whole world is against me
Seems my only hope is You
So Lord, all I can think of to ask
Is help us to get through

Help us to get through
Help me to get through
Days waiting' on the mail
And hours on the phone
