Lyrics

Laid Off Blues - Dave Berry ©2003

Nothing has changed I'm still the same
still like the fit of my shoes
Nothing has changed me I'm still the same me
just got the laid off blues

I'm not at work I'm stayin at home
proud that I'm feelin just fine
got nothin better to do than start singin
and puttin together this rhyme

Chorus
There nothin you can do if they don't want you
it's not a case of right or wrong
so pick up the phone and beat up the pavement
cause you got them laid off blues

break

corporate america does what it wants to
not much you can do
pick up your guitar call up your lawyer
corporate restructuring blues

Repeat Chorus

Break

Repeat first verse

Repeat chorus
