I went up for my interview on the [G#m] fourth day [C#m] of July.
The first old man, he questioned me [G#] until I [C#m] nearly cried.
Made me fill in forms until I shook with fear.
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cup was clear.
He said, go watch out in the shackles for your chain.
And your piece of paper to [G#m] say you left [C#m] here sane.
And your fevered son who wants [G#m] a good [C#m] career.
Is getting to sign on the dotted line and work [G#] for fifty [C#m] years.
He asked me how many [G#m] jobs I'd had [C#m] before.
He nearly had a heart attack when I asked him for.
Four jobs in twenty years, oh [G#m] this could [C#m] never be.
We only take a pill that I fill in the shackles for your chain.
And your piece of paper to [G#m] say you [C#m] left here sane.
And your fevered son who wants a good career.
Is getting to sign on the dotted line and [G#m] work [C#m] for fifty years.
He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line.
This is where we buried [G#m] them, crystal [C#m] and in line.
And if you'd come to work [E] for us, then this [G#] you must [C#m] agree.
That if you're going to die, please do [G#] it in a [C#m] good tea break.
He took a watch out in the shackles for your chain.
And your piece of paper [G#] to say you [C#m] left here sane.
And your fevered son who [G#m] wants a good [C#m] career.
Is getting to sign on the dotted line [G#m] and work for fifty [C#m] years.
This story that you heard, [G#m] it may seem rather [C#m] queer.
But it is the truth [G#m] you'll be surprised [C#m] to hear.
I did not want no job upon the board.
I just wanted to take a bruise.
