Won't You Hire Me Please (Mar-14-2007)

The interview ends before I get to sit down.
‘No’ after ‘No’ before my resume hit’s the table.
Rejection after rejection but I keep trying.
Won’t you please hire me?

Business owners across the country
Take this risk everyday,
Won’t you?

People say to me all the time,
“I wish I didn’t have to work.”
“No you don’t.” I reply.“
Imagine at 20 years old still having to depend
On your parents for everything.
”That’d usually all I have to say
For them to change their minds.

I just want a paycheck, it doesn’t
Need to be big.
Under the table … its no big deal,
Or perhaps it is.
Independence is all that I am after.
Won’t you please hire me?
