back in the 70s, the clash was complaining about jobs kids kill for today!!
Career Opportunities Lyrics
The offered me the office, offered me the leadership
They said I’d better take anything they’d got
Do you want to make tea at the BBC?
Do you want to be, do you really want to 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 want to 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 want to get me making toys
If they want to get me, well, I got no choice
