Unemployable - Pearl Jam

Unemployable Lyrics

He's got a big gold ring which says "Jesus Saves"
And it's dented from the punch thrown at work that day,
Where he smashed a metal locker where he kept his things
After the big boss said you'd best be on your wayOh yeah...
So this life is sacrifice
Oh yeah...
Jumping trains just to surviveWell his wife and kids' asleep but he's still awake
On his brain weighs the curse of thirty bills unpaid
Gets up, lights a cigarette he's grown to hate
Thinkin if he can't sleep, how will he ever dreamYeah...
So this life is sacrifice
Oh yeah...
To a stranger's bottom line
Oh yeah...
I've seen the light
Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...
I'm scared of life
Near to death

Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...
I've seen the light
Scared of life
