Help Wanted

I've been looking for work today
Just like I did yesterday
But everywhere I go, I'm turned away
Even though all the newspapers say

Well, I read the want ads so carefully
Looking for work, hopefully
I would like to get a good wage
But I'll take any job that'll pay

Well, I'm going down to the pawnshop, I need another loan
Down at the pawnshop they'll save me, I know
I'll sign my name anywhere they want
I'll pawn anything I own

I've been walking all over this town
The employment office let me down
All they gave me was a pink card
And then they said, good luck, keep trying hard

Well, I'm going down to the pawnshop, I need another loan
Down at the pawnshop they'll save me, I know
I'll sign my name anywhere they want
I'll pawn anything I own

Well, I got some food stamps, I'm ashamed
They make me wait all day
Not so hungry that I didn't care
Because I can't find a job anywhere
