Unemployable (Live) [05/31/06 VH-1 Storytellers, Club Avalon, NYC] Songtext
von Pearl Jam

He′s got a big gold ring what says "Jesus Saves"
And it's dented from the punch thrown at work that day
When he smashed the metal locker where he kept his things
After the big boss said, "You best be on your way"

Oh, yeah
So this life is sacrifice
Oh, yeah
Jumping trains just to survive

Well, his wife and kid are sleeping but he′s still awake
On his brain weighs the curse of thirty bills unpaid
Gets up, lights a cigarette he's grown to hate
Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?

Yeah, so this life is sacrificed
Oh, yeah
To a strangers bottom line
Oh yeah, I′ve seen the light


Uh-oh oh oh
Uh-oh oh oh
I′m scared of life
Near to death
Uh-oh oh oh
Uh-oh oh oh
I've seen the light, scared of life

Yeah, so this life is sacrificed
Oh, yeah
Was a dream that had to die
Oh yeah, I′ve seen the light

Uh-oh oh oh
Uh-oh oh oh
I'm scared of life
Near to death
Uh-oh oh oh
Uh-oh oh oh
I′ve seen the light, scared of life

Uh-oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh
I'm near to death
Here to die
Scared of life
Near to death
Here to die
Scared of life
