Situation Vacant

(words & music : J.Williams)

Tallyho redundant!
Had a week to work the notice.
Get my gear and steer well clear,
Of here and other floaters.
And if education fails us,
Then education failed us,
And all I have to do this year is pray?
What the hey?
Why should I lie?

Situation vacant,
There is nothing in the paper,
Do you think I want to a handout?
Do you think I want to stand out?
Do you honestly consider?
That I want to lose my liver,
To the blinding hand of a bladdered, bleary life?
What the hey?
Why should I lie?

M12 inst break as verse chords.

A score and five years labour,
For a watch that lasted one year,
For respect, regard and favour,
My elder was a slave here.
And if lessons failed to teach us,
Then lessons fail to teach us,
And malcontents are happy where they stay?
What the hey?
Why should I lie?
To outro rather intensely.
end when screaming.
