Pearl Jam - Unemployable lyrics

He's got a big gold ring
What says "Jesus Saves"
And it's dented from the punch
Thrown at work that day
When he smashed the metal locker
Where he kept his things
After the big boss said
"You best be on your way"

Oh yeah, so this life is sacrifice
Oh yeah, jumping trains just to survive

Well, his wife and kid are
Sleeping but he's still awake
On his brain weighs the curse
Of thirty bills unpaid gets up
Lights a cigarette he's grown to hate
Thinking if he can't sleep
How will he ever dream?

Yeah, so this life is sacrificed
Oh yeah, to a stranger's bottom line
Oh yeah, I've seen the light

Uh oh oh oh, uh oh oh oh
I'm scared alive, near to death
Uh oh oh oh, uh oh oh oh
I've seen the light, scared alive

Yeah, so this life is sacrificed
Oh yeah, was a dream that had to die
Oh yeah, I've seen the light

Uh oh oh oh, uh oh oh oh
I'm scared alive, near to death
Uh oh oh oh, uh oh oh oh
I've seen the light, scared alive

Uh oh oh oh, oh oh
I'm near to death, here to die, scared alive
Near to death, here to die, scared of life
