Unpaid Intern

Lyrics

If nobody pays for it, no one gets paid for it
 and who can afford to go unpaid but the rich?
 An unpaid internship is not an opportunity, it's a risk,
 a risk for those without a bedroom in a family home
 where they can stay rent-free
 whilst you bleed them to the bone
 I'm sorry this job is only available to those
 who can afford to go a month without income
 Can't you see? Can't you see?
 When you open the gates to your massive company do you want a CV?
 or would the deeds to a trust fund prove more necessary?
 You may only have this work
 experience if you can afford to work for free
 Can't you see? Can't you see?
 How this prevents the poor from opportunities?
 Your reputation is not currency!
 Do you know how it feels when the door is shut?
 When there's no feasible way at all of moving up?
 When every job requires experience and
 that always is given to someone well off
 Without a dime, how cruel it is to have dreams
 When they've sewn up every possibility
