I'm 37 years old
|
Married to my childhood sweetheart
|
Two beautiful girls, two and a half and four
|
Worked nine years at the plant where my father worked
|
And his father before him
|
I have a B.A. but laid off seven months ago
|
It's been hard tough so many others
|
But I still believe
|
Can you help, 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
|
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
|
|
I stand in the street
|
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, bother
|
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
|
|
I 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!
