Unemployed Christmas
Begins with Merry Christmas being replaced by Happy Holiday. No work this Christmas. NOt a lot of hope for the future at this point.
Neither political party or business seems to be on my side.
There's a loss of pride when I ceased being a productive member of society. An inability to give my family things and security.
I get a pressure in my chest when I am frustrated or feeling powerless over my situation.
SHopping was always stressful because of the thought of facing bills. Also, Once I was shopping with my kids for CHristmas ornaments and my credit card was refused and taken away because I was recently divorced.
I don't get much encouraging email or responses to my resumes, but I get a lot of spam!
Lots of us are on unemployment. If we're still so lucky.
I don't know how the workplace passed me by so quickly, but there are few ads that have my experience and qualifications in them. Even jobs that are exactly my description don't respond.
But the bills keep coming!
It seems that I have more of a chance to win the lotto than to get a job offer
Things will start falling away from me.
A reference to "The Little Drummer Boy". I make my poor offerings to the Savior.
After working night shift for many years, I have a problem with the leaf blowers waking me up all the time. Plus it seems there is more work for them than for me.
Also all the training and practice to learn to make music seems to have no monetary value.It still shocks me when people are buying 40.00 glasses of wine while their expensive cars wait for them and tell me I should be happy because I'm doing something I love.
it dawned on me as I wrote this that marketers and salespeople are pretty much the same as the homeless guy with his hand out or wanting to wash my windows.
Merry Christmas!

lyrics
I got no money,
I lost my pride
The folks around me
Are on the other side
Not too much hope
The future's looking bleak
No presents for the loved ones
I'm feeling pretty weak
Merry Merry Christmas,
But not a Happy Holiday
Jesus comes to save us
Don't think there's any other way.
The pressure in my chest
it's the feelings that I have
I hate to go out shopping
it brings up the painful past
NO one seems to see me
They just send lots of Spam
And all the folks in my position
still hold out their hand for a
Merry Merry Christmas,
But not a Happy Holiday
Jesus comes to save us
Don't think there's any other way.
The jobs in all the want ads,
they ask for someone else.
All the things I know and done
Don't seem to count for much
No one ever answers me
Even if I fit.
I seem to be invisible
except for all my bills
Merry Merry Christmas,
But not a Happy Holiday
Jesus comes to save us
Don't think there's any other way.
I'm praying for the lotto,
It seems the only way
I'll make through next year
with all those bills to pay.
I'll cut off my insurance,
I'll stop going to the gym
I keep hoping my poor drumming
Will be Ok with Him
Merry Merry Christmas,
But not a Happy Holiday
Jesus comes to save us
Don't think there's any other way.
The leaf blowers are coming
to wake me up again
Why did I go to college
To make less money than them
You'd think with all the training
and all the time I've spent,
Learning to play music
would help me pay the rent
Merry Merry Christmas,
But not a Happy Holiday
Jesus comes to save us
Don't think there's any other way.
It goes beyond just money
It goes beyond the pride
It has to do with thinking
I'm worth something inside
an email or your sales
a number on your list
A target for your ads
That seem to promise this.
Merry Merry Christmas,
But not a Happy Holiday
Jesus comes to save us
Don't think there's any other way.
I lost my pride

No presents for the loved ones
