Lyrics

They offered me the office, offered me the shop They said I'd better take anything they got Do you wanna make tea at the BBC? Do you wanna be, do you really wanna be a cop? Career opportunities, 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 and I hate the R.A.F. I don't wanna go fighting in the tropical heat I hate the civil service rules I won't open a letter bomb for you Career opportunities, the ones that never knock Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock Career opportunity, the ones that never knock Bus driver, ambulance man Ticket inspector, I don't understand 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 Career opportunities, the ones that never knock Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock Career opportunity, the ones that never knock Career, career, career And I'm never gonna knock
