Unemployed, he can't find a job sometimes he feels he's got nothing at all but he won't work for minimum wage CHORUS All he wanted was the right to work that's what he told the social welfare clerk All he wanted was the right to work Right to work Unemployed for months at a time welfare check barely gets him by but he won't take the jobs they offer CHORUS on the streets, he turned to crime what can he do, he can barely read or write his whole life's been a fight CHORUS
