English Beat Get-a-job Lyrics

Get-a-job Lyrics

There's a training course

 boys and girls of real ambition

 start a new job in a factory

 where they're making ammunition

 but it makes them think of stealing

 when they read between the lines

 through the owners of this funfair

 you won't find a ride you like

 just get-a-job, get-a-job 

 

 manufacture rubbish

 although no one can afford it

 you could make a profit

 more than anyone deserves

 so you find you're left with poison

 so you dump it in our water

 and so create the kind of problems

 only radiation cures

 through get-a-job, get-a-job 

 

 oh you young people are revolting

 8 to 5 should give the jolt needed

 in a few years you won't feel quite the same

 you'll be playing their get-a-job games 

 

 there's a training camp when

 you come from from saving nations

 get a new job and a new leg

 social rehabilitation

 every time you thing of leaving

 you get caught between the lines

 it's the training for the funfair

 you get taken for a ride

 you!

 just get-a-job, get-a-job

 just get-a-job, get-a-job
