My work ethic's been destroyed

and I'm glad I'm unemployed

I'm always broke so what's been gained

thank God for the government

stuck to the cough like rubber cement

FX Channel keeps me entertained



I'm on the dole, out of control

I wonder if they're on to me

and I'm in the hole, but I'm on the dole

and all I do is watch T.V.



I never leave the house

Woodsy thinks I'm part of the couch

the difference has become unclear

When she's gone I play musical chairs

while Robin's getting high upstairs

I can hear her hacking from here



My employer left me in the lurch

have you made an active work search

these claim forms are getting hard

can't afford to let down my guard

and all this time to kill

hangs over me like unpaid bills

waiting for the day that I can pay

and you bet I will



I'm on the dole, but I'm in control

and all I do is watch T.V. and wonder if they're on to me

I'm in the hole, but I'm on the dole

Imagine all the time to kill

I'm sure you can, I know I will
