No Hire, Low Pay

I filled out 100 applications

Then I hit submit

Waiting for a phone call

Which one am I going to get ?

It really don't matter

I just need to work

Been going so long without food

My stomach starting to hurt

You wouldn't think it gets worse

But at some point it do

When you out with friends

But you the only one that can't pay for food

Or when you down to that last dollar

And you have to make a decision

Do you want your lights on

Or do you want to eat to keep living

Bad thoughts popping up

Im thinking about stealing

Or asking for money

From whoever is willing

See everybody is hiring

But nobody is hiring me

I just want to know why

I have the requirements that they seek

I have the qualifications that they need

And a lil extra if they want

Saying I do certain stuff

When I know I really don't

Wish i didn't have to

Lie to get a job

They have crazy expectations

Playing against the odds

The job I do have

Don't pay me to survive

Plus im not happy here

Im just trying to stay alive
