[Chorus]
I don't want no dead end job
I don't wanna be no number
I don't want no dead end job
I don't wanna be no number
[Bridge]
The queue gets longer everyday
I just ain't got time to stay
I ain't gonna run away
All I wanna do is play
[Verse 1]
Don't wanna be no teacher
I don't wanna be no slave
I don't wanna work no assembly line
Like my uncle Dave
[Bridge]
The queue gets longer everyday
I just ain't got time to stay
I ain't gonna run away
All I wanna do is play
[Chorus]
I don't want no dead end job
I don't want no dead end job
I don't want no dead end job
I don't want no dead end job
I don't want no dead end job
I don't wanna be no number
I don't want no dead end job
I don't wanna be no number
[Bridge]
The queue gets longer everyday
All I wanna do is play
I just ain't got time to stay
But I ain't gonna run away
[Verse 2]
Don't wanna be no millionaire
Don't wanna own no mint
I don't wanna be no tax exile
And I don't mind being skint
[Bridge]
The queue gets longer every day
I just ain't got time to stay
I ain't gonna run away
All I wanna do is play
[Chorus]
I don't want no dead end job, I don't want no dead end job
I don't want no dead end job, I don't want no dead end job
Oh no
I don't want no dead end job, I don't want no dead end job
I don't want no dead end job
I don't want no dead end job
I don't wanna be no number
I don't want no dead end job
I don't wanna be no number
[Bridge]
The queue gets longer everyday
I just ain't got time to stay
I ain't gonna run away
All I want to do is play
[Verse 3]
Don't wanna be no millionaire
Don't wanna own no mint
I don't wanna be no tax exile
And I don't mind being skint
[Bridge]
The queue gets longer every day
I just ain't got time to stay
All I wanna do is play
I ain't gonna run away
[Chorus]
I don't want no dead end job
I don't want no dead end job
I don't want no dead end job
I don't want no dead end job
I don't want no dead end job
You can stuff your dead end job
[Outro]
Stuff your fuckin' dead end, you bastard, cunts
Don't want no dead end job
I'm fuckin' pissed off with this dead end job
Camarine
Oh, I don't want no dead end job, I don't want no dead end job
I don't want no dead end job, I don't want no dead end job
