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
|
