Get-A-Job The Beat
"Get-A-Job" by The Beat, released in 1980, is a ska-infused track that addresses the pressures of unemployment and societal expectations. The lyrics convey frustration with job hunting and the struggle for financial stability. Its upbeat tempo contrasts with the serious theme, reflecting resilience. The song became an anthem for the jobless youth of its time. #Ska
There's a training course where
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
So you create the kind of problems
Only radiation cures through
Get a job, get a job
Get a job, get a job
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
So you create the kind of problems
Only radiation cures through
Get a job, get a job
Get a job, get a job
