Lyrics for "No Job, No Home, No Life"
I watch all my friends just lose it,
and I'm hoping I wont be the same.
It starts with no job
but then the dominoes start to take affect,
Next your home and family struggles,
there's no escape,
Cause we've got no job, no home, no life,
everything's been taken away.
