Career Opportunities Lyrics - The Clash (us Version) - The Clash

They offered me the office, offered me the shop 

They said I'd better take anything they got 

Do you wanna make tea at the BBC? 

Do you wanna be, do you really wanna be a cop? 

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 

I hate the army and I hate the R.A.F. 

I don't wanna go fighting in the tropical heat 

I hate the civil service rules 

I won't open a letter bomb for you

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 

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

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

Career, career, career 

And I'm never gonna knock
