Song Description

I hate to say it, but it's a bit biographical.

Lyrics

The Call
I was working away, For my 8 hours pay
I work hard just to make a livi'n

Then the boss called to say, it would be my last day
Said we're going in a different direction

The call hit me like a bolt from the sky
I shook my head and just asked why
I got the call today, my job was going away
I got the call today
I got the call today, that there'd be no more pay
I got the call today

I've got a wife and kid, and a car and a house
But I got no job to support 'em.

I'll start looking around, there ain't no work in this town
damn sure can't live on a pension

The call hit me like a bolt from the sky
I shook my head and just asked why
I got the call today, my job was going away
I got the call today
I got the call today, that there'd be no more pay
I got the call today


I'll be doing the interview dance
Ain't sure if I have much of a chance
But I think I'd rather die
Then to have to wear a goddamned tie

I got the call today, my job was going away
I got the call today
I got the call today, that there'd be no more pay
I got the call today

I'll work hard again but I don't know when
Its tuff with the economy collapse

I'll start doing my time,iIn the welfare line
Try to pull my self up by my boot straps

I got the call today, I got the call today.
