Waiting for a Job!

I've been standing here
Waiting for a Job on a Saturday
Resume on my back
Ultraviolet rays
Like posing for a mug shot on a precint
What the hell does it mean

I'm a family man
Straight from the can
I'm a thousand miles away
From my daughter and son!

My wife is getting tight
Won't let me out at night
You can't avoid the complications
When there's no beer at all

When the lightning strikes we fry
I'll drink my gin
I'll wipe my tears
Southbound in the sky

Another hungry man
Another reason gets you everyday
The only time that you can eat
Is when payday comes

Well, I'm caught up in a stupid job
So, dirty that I can't play
But I'm no stupid man
And I'm ready to resign

I've been sitting here
Surfing the net
To many emails to read
Spams from a porno site!

I am bleeding coffee
As my skin turns pale
I can't sleep at night
Damn, Jobhunting on my mind

The money is rolling
Like a rolling dough
Alone, I choose the road less traveled on

Now I'm lying here
Waiting for a call on a company
Dreaming for a highly paid salary
Job that will treat me fairly
Time is all it takes
But pains get in the way

improvised lyrics of "Waiting for a Bus" by the Eraserheads from the album "Cutterpillow"
So, it means that some part of this poems are originally from the song but i deleted some part of it to suite in to my lifestyle.
Grabe! Hirap mag-english! Naisip ko kasi yung song, lalo na at idol ko rin ang Eraserheads at sinubukan ko naman na ibahin yung ibang salita para mapabatid ko ng mabuti ang damdaming gusto kong ipabatid! Hindi ko kasi madiretso eh, sana marunong kayong magbasa between the lines. Syanga pala nakikinig ako sa "Nasaan Ka" ng Pupil ngayon habang ginagawa ko ito.
Salamat! Enjoy!
