Woke up this morning yawned and scratched my skin
Think to myself now, what would this day bring?

Day after day spent walking the town
I play the fool then I act the clown
But is it my fault that Im unqualified
Clear from JA in Britain to reside
As an unemployed member of the public

CHORUS
Look who's unemployed now
Look who's unemployed now
Look who's unemployed now
Look who's unemployed now

Its not that Im afraid of work you see
Ill build computers even chop down trees
My parents tell me that Im no damn good
They're better of with a man of wood
So help me brothers now help me if you can
cos after all Im just a human man
Not just an unemployed member of the public

CHORUS

To all of those of you that work for your pay
Please be careful in the words that you say
To all of those not as fortunate as you
cos finding a job is not so easy to do
So keep it in mind that maybe some day
You just might end up the very same way
As an unemployed member of the public
