Dropkick Murphys - Career Opportunities (Live) Lyrics

Artist: Dropkick Murphys

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Mick Jones, John Mellor

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?

No fuckin' way

Career opportunities, the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunity's the one that never knock

I hate the army and I hate the Cambridge Police
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, the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunity's the one that never knock

Carney Givens, Arthur McGilvrey, Bobby Linchsky
[Incomprehensible]

They're gonna have to introduce conscription
They're gonna have to take away my prescription
If they gonna get me making toys, if they gonna get me
Well, I got no choice

Career opportunities, the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunity's the one that never knock

Careers, careers, careers
[Incomprehensible] never knock
