Ghost Jobs & Circus Dreams

[Intro] [accordion] [brass] In the land of endless postings, where dreams are bought and sold, We chase the phantom listings, in the digital fool's gold. On Dice and ZipRecruiter, we send our hopes and prayers, But the jobs are mere illusions, vanishing in thin air.

[Verse 1] [acoustic guitar] They promise us positions, with prospects shining bright, But when we reach the interview, it's all a ghostly sight. A hundred rounds of questions, for a wage that barely feeds, Solving riddles meant for sages, while our dignity recedes.

[Chorus] [accordion] Oh, the circus that we're living, with hoops we jump on cue, They dangle dreams before us, then snatch them from our view. The boomers say, "Get educated," but debts are all we gain, A lifetime chained to payments, for jobs that bring us pain.

[Verse 2] [acoustic guitar] The casting couch is waiting, in offices disguised, Where favors are the currency, and morals compromised. We grind through endless Leetcode, our eyes begin to bleed, But entry-level's out of reach, for those in desperate need.

[Chorus] [accordion] Oh, the circus that we're living, with hoops we jump on cue, They dangle dreams before us, then snatch them from our view. The boomers say, "Get educated," but debts are all we gain, A lifetime chained to payments, for jobs that bring us pain.

[Bridge] [brass] Networking's a ghost town, for juniors seeking grace, The NEETs are left abandoned, in this unforgiving race. We yearn for just a footstep, inside the corporate door, But find ourselves rejected, left stranded on the shore.

[Chorus] [accordion] Oh, the circus that we're living, with hoops we jump on cue, They dangle dreams before us, then snatch them from our view. The boomers say, "Get educated," but debts are all we gain, A lifetime chained to payments, for jobs that bring us pain.

[Outro] [acoustic guitar] So here's to all the dreamers, caught in this endless chase, May we find a path to freedom, and reclaim our rightful place. Let's break the chains that bind us, and forge a brighter way, Where jobs are real and fair, and hope is here to stay.
