about

song is abrasive delivery on imagery and mindset of European citizen as they try to make sense of their place within the culture they have been raised in which they react to things within the environment that they witness & experience whilst also coming to terms with the abrupt realisation that the options available to them under the current economic circumstances exist mostly within a framework of minimal prospects.

lyrics

Unemployment (P45) several times

Life through a window and you normalise pain
She messing with you body & mind
Paranoid city eviction and debt
gonna leave us all further behind.
Crisis line we got drugs and crime
they say sex work older than war
we got a racist cop but charges were dropped
he said I'll always be a part of the law
I smashed up the playground
They closed all the shops
I just been stopped
In a Town called unemployment

Repeat chorus A couple of times.

Theft and fraud she say she she feeling ignored
but everybody gonna make it on through
Media hype and you a stereotype
you can beg to survive but you do what you have to
Overpriced food and she like being amused
but I can hate life a little bit more
They made an angel sculpture out of weapons and guns
you a postcode baby dying in a turf war
Death of emotion religion or fact
They don't do God in a town called unemployment

perversion & privilege overweight cops
a hotel riot & I just been shot
A social programme you in the machine
abused and neglected its a part of the scene
you been saving face but the image is cracked
its only an act
In a town called unemployment

Dont wanna take part think i staying in bed
i got blood coming outta my nose.
Is this where I belong she say the money all gone
i Cant get my breath you know the hospital closed
I don't like to think and i cant say my name i hear they keep it in a government file
Dont ask me no question & I wont get it wrong
That way you dont get no lies
I got bad advice and its cold at night
The rats all bite in a Town called unemployment
