The Clash - Career Opportunities lyrics

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

Careers

Careers

Careers

Ain't never gonna knock
