Career Opportunities Lyrics - The Singles Collection - Dropkick Murphys

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 the ones that never knock 

Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock 

Career opportunities, the ones that never knock 

I hate the army an' 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 opportunities are the ones that never knock 

Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock 

Career opportunities, 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 are the ones that never knock 

Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock 

Career opportunities, the ones that never knock 

Career 

Career 

Career, are the never gonna knock
