Sherry Darlin’ – Bruce Springsteen

Your Mamma’s yappin’ in the back seat
Tell her to push over and move them big feet
Every Monday morning I gotta drive her down to the unemployment agency

 

Bruce Springsteen, from the album, The River

I love this reference to working class life. Unemployment has become a permanent way of life for many in the Western world since the mid-1970s, even thought the rich capitalistic aristocracy refuse to acknowledge it.
