On the Dole

My work ethic's been destroyed
And I'm glad I'm unemployed
I'm always broke, so what's been gained?
Thank God for the government
Stuck to the couch like rubber cement
FX Channel keeps me entertained

I'm on the dole
Out of control
I wonder if they're on to me
And I'm in the hole
But I'm on the dole
And all I do is watch TV

And I never leave the house
Woodsy thinks I'm part of the couch
The difference has become unclear
When she's gone, I play musical chairs
While Robin's getting high upstairs
I can hear her hacking from here

On the dole
Out of control
I wonder if they're on to me
And I'm in the hole
But I'm on the dole
And all I do is watch TV
My employer left me in the lurch
"Have you made an active work search?"
These claim forms are getting hard
Can't afford to let down my guard
And all this time to kill
Hangs over me like unpaid bills
Waiting for the day that I can pay
And you bet I will

I'm on the dole
But I'm in control
And all I do is watch TV
And wonder if they're on to me
I'm on the dole
But I'm in the hole
Imagine all the time to kill
I'm sure you can, I know I will
