Take a Bite
She turns on the radioAnd the DJ says
in his clean-shaven voice:
'It's a new week, folks,
Today is Monday!
Take a big bite out of the new day!'
At the office for names 'A through K,'
Where she has been fifty times before already,
The lady tells her, 'I haven't found anything for you.
It won't be easy,
But we'll get something for you.
See you tomorrow, child, maybe it'll work out then.'
A new day, a chance like a new workbook,
With nothing on it, except for her name
But when she goes to bed at night bitterly she thinks to herself:
'Again I had to be she who sold off on a second-hand day!'
Take a bite, take a bite, take a bite!
Take a bite, take a bite!
Awww
At human resources:
'Well, what skills do you have?'
On the desk, forms are waiting to jump at her
'Have you put in an application?
Do you accept authority?
And what about job experience, how many years [have you worked]?'
A rejection, as usual
'Don't take it personally!'
On her way back, a man on the bus says:
'They all just want to be lazy,
Have an easy life at our expense!'
She gets off the bus, she'd rather walk
A new day, a chance like a new workbook,
With nothing on it, except for her name
But when she goes to bed at night bitterly she thinks to herself:
'Again I had to be she who sold off on a second-hand day!'
Take a bite, take a bite, take a bite!
Take a bite, take a bite!
Awww
