The offered me the office, offered me the shop
They said I’d better take anything they’d got
Do you wanna make tea at the BBC?
Do you wanna be, do you really wanna be a cop?
Career opportunities are the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunity, the ones that never knock
I hate the army an’ I hate the R.A.F.
I don’t wanna go fighting in the tropical heat
I hate the civil service rules
And I won’t open letter bombs for you
Bus driver….ambulance man….ticket inspector
They’re gonna have to introduce conscription
They’re gonna have to take away my prescription
If they wanna get me making toys
If they wanna get me, well, I got no choice
I was reminded of this song by a Speedway job application – It said "Career Opportunities" on the top. I couldn’t get the song out of my head after that.
@runtburger2 Hell yes blessed to be born even in 5 million unemplyed and Thatcher i wouldnt have changed it for world.Unlike most of my pier group that never made 30-Clash City Rockers.
