Unemployed Lyrics

back to unemployment you are going through a fall fall from society you don't care at all blind to the truth you have to pay your way beg on the streets for the life that you lead chorus- want to slave your life away we don't want your fucking work want to work another day we don't want your shitty pay want to live day by day we don't want your lazy ways want to live your life in vein we don't want you into the music but can't go to the shows can't buy no records or even clean your clothes blind to the truth that punk is here to stay out for the summer then you hide yourself away chorus out here we struggle to get by day to day jobs pay you money but bills take it away proud to be punk and now i have a say beg on the street and that say gets ripped away chorus (For the dickheads who panhandle off the punks)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

whats so good about being drunk, dirty, unemployed and lazy and indifferent and apathetic? punk requires a captivated mind and the willingness to change how things work no matter who says you cant. you shouldnt be a "proud" punk who does nothing but get drunk and ramble on about how you hate everyone, be an active punk and bring revolution
