This parody is actually a 100% true story from my life a decade or so back. I was living in Japan for a couple years and working sorta part time for a certain Japanese firearm manufacturer. I am probably the only American ever to design a complete firearm which is patented ONLY in virtually gunless Japan. I was having a lot of fun at my job there and in Japan generally but eventually got divorced from my Japanese 1st wife (for reasons unrelated to fun) and thus lost my spouse visa to stay in the country. My employer there was supposed to help me get an engineer visa so I could go back to work for them full time and permanently, but assigned the most totally useless person in the whole company to be responsible for the paperwork. I had to return to America "for 3 months" to wait for the result, but kept my apartment in Japan during that time. After 8 months of waiting in America my visa application was finally denied. So, I lost my wife, I had no job, my bank account in Japan was drained dry from automatically paying rent and utilities on an unoccupied apartment there for 8 months, my savings in America were gone from living expenses here for 8 months, I was not eligible for unemployment benefits anywhere in the USA, auto insurance companies wanted to charge me double as a high risk because there was no record of me buying auto insurance for years, my Japanese patent was worthless and only served to prevent me from later applying for a patent elsewhere, my dog had just died, and to top it off I still had to fly back to Japan and clean out my apartment. And after that I was looking forward to at best returning to some ordinary boring life with an ordinary boring job. So I wrote this song.

Great for the karaoke bars!
