Land of Opportunity!

Of course, you're of some use to them.
You needn't sit and hang your head.
You have to buy the things they sell,
Though they're all made in Asia now.
That's why you haven't got a job,
But don't be sad. Someone will call
To tell you you can borrow money.
Take a loan. Your neighbors have,
And don't you like their shiny cars?
You'll be in debt. What's wrong with
That, so long as you can pay your
Bills? You will once you have found
A job, and you can find one anywhere.
They'll take you on to staff their stores.
They need someone to walk their
Dogs. You'll earn enough to make
The payments on the loans they made
To you, so raise your head, and stand
Up, sonny. You're of use to them.
