Dear Employer

from Under City Lights by John Nels

/

lyrics

Come back tomorrow
Vacancies rarely congeal
Have the manager check the call log
If an opening haphazardly appears
Hit the corner stores for beers
Trade your hopeless tears for fears

Ten dollars to the name and soul
Hang up the pants- on the couch and smoke a bowl
See some friends for drink or two
While I stare at the phone and hope for a cue
Hoping for a message out of the blue
But none are directly asking for you

Dear Employer; please reply
Give your number- another try
A perfect reference, in perfect form

Find yourself in- dire form
Wait for calls ya- waited too long for
Wanna be off of- State and need
So long, it's been so long

Weeks and months- have gone by
Feeling down and out- as if you didn't try
Try one last time- to get a hold of
Try one last time- to get a hold of
