Some people have had it with their job
Fed up with the intolerable conditions of employment
Imposed on them working through the pandemic
Ready to leave to look for something better
Many out of work have no job to go back to
Forced to try to find new employment
When there may be no market for their skills
In an economy that has shifted significantly
All these people hoping for a dream job
Meaningful work with good pay and being treated well
Though few are lucky to get even two out of three
And too many jobs don't provide even one
Only if you are young and dare to take the risk
Unafraid you might end up broke living in the street
The scary plight that coerces most people
To put up with whatever pays the bills
When winning the lottery is completely improbable
What then can individual people do
To escape losing our lives to one long grind
As long as the system remains in place
Oh how I hate the capitalist system
That weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living
That trapped all the dead generations before us
That is stealing the future of the planet
