"Layoff blues"

Got my warning notice
Sixty days to go
How am I gonna pay the rent
Lord I do not know

I got the blues, the Boeing layoff blues
I used to have it all but now I ain't got nothing to lose

Too young to retire
Too old to start again
My relatives disowned me
So did all my friends

Offered me another job
That's all I'm alowed to say
More than twice the work
Less than half the pay

I'll move to Carolina
That's the place for me
Get my old job back
Cause that's where it'll be


Extra verse:
I watched all of the managers
Change jobs seven times
To try and save thier own necks
And cover up some crimes


Alternate ending:
I'll move to China
That's the place for me
Get my old job back
Cause that's where it'll be
