(Strummer/Jones)
The offered me the office, offered me the
shop
They said I'd better take anything they'd got
Do you wanna make tea at the BBC?
Do you wanna be, do you really wanna be a cop?
Career opportunities are the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunity, the ones that never knock
I hate the army an' I hate the R.A.F.
I don't wanna go fighting in the tropical heat
I hate the civil service rules
And I won't open letter bombs for you
Bus driver....ambulance man....ticket inspector
They're gonna have to introduce conscription
They're gonna have to take away my prescription
If they wanna get me making toys
If they wanna get me, well, I got no choice
Careers
Careers
Careers
Ain't never gonna knockTakin' Back What's Mine
Something to say, say it now
Don't make me wait, losing my ground
We had a love, what a shame
But I love you all the same
Still I won't play in your game
And I need to break free
'cause you're tripping on me
Don't take it personal
You think you love
But you don't show me
You think I'm wrong
But you don't know what's right
And now I've found my heart after all this time
I'm takin' back what's mine
I had your back, who's got it now
You're off the track, can't be found
Our love was strong but then you let me down
Still love you all the same
But I won't play in your game
And I need to break free
'cause you're tripping on me
Don't take it personally
You think you love
But you don't show me
You think I'm wrong
But you don't know what's right
And now, I've found my heart after all this time
I'm takin' back what's mine
To think your love was a fantasy
Only to find you're no good for me
I shouldn't stay where I don't belong
I've made up my mind
I'm takin' back what's mine
You think you love
But you don't show me
You think I'm wrong
But you don't know what's right
And now, I've found my heart after all this time
I'm takin' back what's mine
The house
The car
The goldfish
The dog
The stereo
Oh yeah, and my heart
