| I’m 27 years old
|
| Married to my childhood sweetheart
|
| Two beautiful girls, two and a half and four
|
| Worked nine years at the plant my father worked
|
| And his father before him
|
| I have a B.A. |
| but laid off seven months ago
|
| It’s been tough like so many others
|
| But I still believe
|
| Can you help me, 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
|
| Yeah, I need a job
|
| Yeah
|
| 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
|
| Stand in the streets
|
| 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, brother
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
