Careers Service lyrics

It's a 24 hour operation with a skeleton staff The profits almost double when they cut the work force in half The boss votes the way the money goes, and the flags fly at half-mast He believes in the lie that is free enterprise and it just makes me laugh And it makes me nervous Careers service It makes me nervous You can't walk down the street now the corner-shop's been closed Who needs nostalgia when it belts you in the nose Big men put me out of business, made me sell budget garden hose Left you drunk on overpriced scotch, wearing a plastic rose And it makes me nervous Careers service It makes me nervous The boys in the queue The girls in the queue The men and the women all shouting at you Whatever happened to careerÌs information Whatever happened to the pride of this nation No-oneÌs giving us good vibrations Excitations You've got your best suit on for the interview Meeting people you shouldnÌt have to meet, doing things you don't want to do Behind the desk, it's all sex on a casting couch, surely will bite you You don't even get the understudy amidst all this hullabaloo And it makes me nervous Careers service Well it's so worthless Careers service Well it's so worthless
