I'm 37 years old
Married to my childhood sweetheart
Two beautiful girls
two and a half and four
Worked nine years at the plant
where my father worked
And his father before him
I have a B.A. but laid off
seven months ago
It's been tough
so many others
But I still believe
Can you help, brother
Can you help
I need a job I need a job
I'm willing to work
But I need a job
I stand in the street
With a sign in my hand
But I need the work
I need a job
I just returned from Afghanistan
Spent four years
in the military service
I'm 24, strong and I can't find
work in my hometown
I'm married with one beautiful son
Seven months old today
Never had a chance to buy a home
Can't afford the apartment
we've been living in
Moving in with Debbie's parents,
whose home is now in foreclosure
Can you help
I need a job I need a job
I'm willing to work
But I need a job
I stand in the street
With a sign in my hand
I'm willing to work
But I need a job
I'm sorry this letter is
hand-written but
I don't have a computer
I don't have access to one
I'm 51 years old
I lost my wife to breast cancer
three years ago
Lost my job of 26 years
one year later
I'm homeless with
no one to turn to
I've been through a lot, bother
I heard you like to help people
Well, I need help
I need a job I need a job
I'm willing to work
But I need a job
I stand in the street
With a sign in my hand
I'm willing to work
But I need a job
Got nothin' left
Lost it all
Can I get back to zero
Zero zero zero zero zero
I need a job
Yeah I need a job
I need a job
And the last letter said
I'm nine years old
and homeless Fuck
