Career Opportunities (Polydor Demos) - The Clash
Written by:Joe Strumme/Guy Stevens
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 opportunities are 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 RIF
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 opportunities are the ones that never knock
Career opportunities that keep you out the dock
Career opportunities are the ones that never knock they knock
Ohhhh
Bus driver
I'm an ambulance man
I'm a ticket inspector
And I don't understand
They're gonna have to introduce conscription
They're gonna lose up the job ahhhh
I got to gotta a way
For a lean from help
Gonna got to do
In the how how to the hills
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 never gonna knock
