Tone Deaf (7-27-20)

Lost your job when they trimmed the fat?
You should try on a new hat
You’ll have to make do
Or find something new
Now why didn’t I think of that?
 
Your stimulus money’s all spent?
And you cannot pay the rent?
Got no revenue?
Then find something new
Don’t be such a malcontent
 
Your retail job’s not coming back?
All you’ve eaten today is one snack
You cannot make do?
Then find something new
And soon you will be back on track
 
Fighting an major addiction?
Facing a likely eviction?
Your lease won’t renew
Then find something new
This is Ivanka’s new fiction
 
COVID will keep the schools closed
To COVID you might be exposed
Your kids home with you?
Then find something new
This is what Trump has proposed
 
Facing a dire forecast
Small business you built cannot last
Your rent is soon due
Then find something new
Ivanka says it’ll be a blast
 
No access to the internet?
Living as a homeless Vet?
Hunger got you blue
Then find something new
“Cause Trump’s killed every safety net
 
Told you will soon be laid off?
Worried about your new cough?
Your mortgage just grew?
Then find something new
“cause at your woes the WH just scoffs
 
Fly for a major airline?
Has your health been in decline?
Got fired from the crew?
Then find something new
Ivanka’s says you will be fine
 
Work as a professional musician?
An actor with no new auditions?
Your plans all fell through?
Then find something new
Maybe a dental technician
 
No more work for a beautician?
Train as an IT technician
It’s not hard to do
Just find something new
But you’ll need to pay the tuition
 
Or maybe get trained in childcare
Or be a food worker somewhere
Oops, those jobs are through
But find something new
And don’t expect life to be fair
 
5M jobs waiting out there
For the 33M in despair
So, here’s what you do
Go find something new
But better quick or be square
 
Yes, start in a “rising career”
Like wind farms that Trump did so smear
Pay your bills while you do
Work to find something new
Even if it takes many years

Make a living as a bar tender?
Out on the street as a vender?
This much is true
You must find something new
‘cause you’re not going to find a lender
 
Ivanka, I’ve advice for your dad
Best start reviewing want ads
Cause with him we’re through
He should find something new
A gig with his BFF Vlad?
