Johnny Unemployed
See that guy over there sitting in the shade, doing nothing just like everyday?
No hope, no future, Johnny unemployed
No, no, he's certainly not the kind to shirk, he's really looking hard for work
No future here, nor there nor anywhere
Mind unemployed is mind unenjoyed
Johnny doesn't go out, he stays in every night
As they took his job they took his pride
His life is plain, he doesn't complain and he never will
Too proud to beg, too good to steal
Waiting in vain for a new deal
Johnny plays the guitar in a reggae band, but reggae doesn't pay the rent
He keeps living on dreams of a better life, find a rich girl and make her his wife
Johnny Desempleado
¿Ves a ese tipo allí sentado en la sombra, sin hacer nada como todos los días?
Sin esperanza, sin futuro, Johnny desempleado
No, no, definitivamente no es del tipo que se escaquea, realmente está buscando trabajo con ahínco
Sin futuro aquí, ni allá, ni en ningún lado
Una mente desempleada es una mente sin disfrute
Johnny no sale, se queda en casa todas las noches
Le quitaron su trabajo, le quitaron su orgullo
Su vida es sencilla, no se queja y nunca lo hará
Demasiado orgulloso para mendigar, demasiado bueno para robar
Esperando en vano por un nuevo trato
Johnny toca la guitarra en una banda de reggae, pero el reggae no paga el alquiler
Sigue viviendo de sueños de una vida mejor, encontrar una chica rica y hacerla su esposa
