Joe Strummer - Career Opportunities lyrics

They 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 opportunity the one that never knocks Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock Career opportunity, the one that never knocks I hate the army and I hate the RAF I don't wanna go fighting in the tropical heat I hate the civil service rules I won't open letter bombs for you Career opportunity the one that never knock Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock Career opportunity, the one that never knock Oi! 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 makin' toys If they wanna get me, well I got no choice Career opportunity the one that never knock Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock Career opportunity, the one that never knock Career Career Career It ain't never gonna knock
