Get a Job/Stand Down Margaret |
| 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 |
| well it’s sing along time |
| it’s very easy |
| all you gotta sing is |
| stand down Margaret |
| because he son a lead da way |
