John Wesley Harding - Careers Service Lyrics
It is a 24 hour operation with a skeleton staffThe profits almost double when they cut the work force in halfThe boss votes the way the money goes, and the flags fly at half-mastHe believes in the lie that is free enterprise and it just makes me laughAnd it makes me nervousCareers serviceIt makes me nervousYou can't walk down the street now the corner-shop's been closedWho needs nostalgia when it belts you in the noseBig men put me out of business, made me sell budget garden hoseLeft you drunk on overpriced scotch, wearing a plastic roseAnd it makes me nervousCareers serviceIt makes me nervousThe boys in the queueThe girls in the queueThe men and the women all shouting at youWhatever happened to careeraŒs informationWhatever happened to the pride of this nationNo-oneaŒs giving us good vibrationsExcitationsYou've got your best suit on for the interviewMeeting people you shouldnaŒt have to meet, doing things you don't want to doBehind the desk, it's all sex on a casting couch, surely will bite youYou don't even get the understudy amidst all this hullabalooAnd it makes me nervousCareers serviceWell it's so worthlessCareers serviceWell it's so worthless
