Conceived and written in September 2004.
1) Text format:
But not any kind of job
The right job, the right job, a JOB.
A job that meets my training skills
a job that satisfies me
a job that meets employers' needs
a job that merely fits
How befitting is to work
What a social satisfaction
What a wealth creation function
A job, a job, a job!
What I need is a job.
But not any kind of job
The right job, the right job, a JOB.
How depressing to be poor
How sad to be unsure
Insecurity
Uncertainty
Insanity
Being jobless a profanity!
In today's society
But is that a reality?
What I need is a job.
But not any kind of job
The right job, the right job, a JOB.
How fantastic to be rich
To be high beyond the reach
of misery
of saucery
Pure fantasy!
I don't want to be alone
Looking through the glass dome
The job ads are so many
Wish I could be fit for any
Suitable!
Employable!
Enjoyable!
What I need is a job.
But not any kind of job
The right job, the right job, a JOB.
But is it feasible?
All the experts agree
The job market is a flea
Today's reality
Yesterday's formality
Oh how the world has changed!
Oh my god I feel shortchanged
Global exchanges
Global dynamics
What I need is a job.
But not any kind of job
The right job, the right job, a JOB.
I wish I was trained in ceramics!
I could then create some art
Sell it the highest bidder
Underpaid is a curse
Little money in the purse
A job would be a blessing!
And the need is so pressing!
Like a window dressing!
