[Verse 1] Carpet smells like an old bad dream Like waking up on Granville Street Commercial Drive is on my mind and the landlord’s note says “pay on time” My flannel coat is all I own Welfare line feels like home [Pre-Chorus] Sky stays dark and never dry Winters always in my life [Chorus] Unemployed in Vancouver Broke but I’m still here Unemployed in Vancouver The rain is all you hear Unemployed in Vancouver I'm broke, the streets I share Unemployed in Vancouver It seems bad, but I'm still here [Verse 2] Bus pass dead, my boots are cold New west rust is in my soul Five-buck coffee, watch and stare Can’t afford to sit in there Ex moved on to shine and sell I sell organs to pay my bills [Pre-Chorus] Sky stays dark and never dry Winters always in my life [Chorus] Unemployed in Vancouver Broke but I’m still here Unemployed in Vancouver The rain is all I hear Unemployed in Vancouver I'm broke, the streets I share Unemployed in Vancouver It seems bad, but I'm still here [Bridge] Mountains smirk, the ocean shrugs Gulls steal fries like one of us Someday sunshine, someday fun Someday feels like it never comes [Final Chorus] Unemployed in Vancouver Broke but I’m still here Unemployed in Vancouver The rain is all I hear Unemployed in Vancouver I'm broke, the streets I share Unemployed in Vancouver It seems bad, but we're still here
