- Lyrics / Music: Strummer / Jones -
The 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? (no fuckin` way)
chorus: 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 Cambridge Police. 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
chorus:
Oi Oi Oi, Carney Givens, Arthur McGilvrey, Bobby Linchsky (I sounded out the names)
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
chorus:
Careers, Careers, Careers...... Ain`t never gonna knock
