Careers Service

[Verse 1]
It's a twenty-four 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

[Chorus]
And it makes me nervous
Careers service
It makes me nervous

[Verse 2]
You can't walk down the street
Now the corner shop's been closed
And who needs nostalgia
When it belts you in the nose?
The big men put me out of business
Made me sell budget garden hose
Left you drunk on overpriced scotch
'Cause you're wearing a plastic rose

[Chorus]
And it makes me nervous
Careers service
It makes me nervous

[Bridge]
The boys in the queue
The girls in the queue
The men and the women
All shouting at you
Whatever happened to careers information?
Whatever happened to the pride of this nation?
No one's giving us good vibrations
Excitations

[Verse 3]
You've got your best suit on
For the interview
Meeting people you shouldn't have to meet
Doing things you don't wanna 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

[Chorus]
And it makes me nervous
Careers service
Well, it's so worthless
Careers service
Well, it's so worthless
