Love this song. Now warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control Somebody threw a spanner, they threw him in the hole Theres rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down Theres a meeting in the boardroom, theyre trying to trace the smell Theres a leakin in the washroom, theres a stink in personnel Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze Goodness me, could this be industrial disease ? Caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post Refusing to be pacified, its him they blame the most Watchdogs got rabies, the foreman got the fleas Everyones concerned about industrial disease Theres panic on the switchboard, tongue is in knots Some come out in sympathy, some come out in spots Some blame the management, some the employees Everybody knows its the industrial disease Yeah, now the work force is disgusted down tools and walks Innocence is injured, experience just talks Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees That these are classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse Philosophy is useless, theology is worse History boils over, theres an Economics freeze Sociologists invent words that mean industrial disease Doctor Parkinson declared, Im not surprised to see you here Youve got smokers cough from smoking Brewers droop from drinking beer I dont know how you came to get the Bette Davis wheeze But worst of all young man youve got industrial disease He wrote me a prescription he said, You are depressed Im glad you came to see me to get this off your chest Come back and see me later, next patient please Send in another victim of industrial disease And I go down to speakers corner, Im a thunderstruck They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks Two men say theyre Jesus, one of them must be wrong Theres a protest singer, hes singing a protest song, he says They wanna have a war to keep their factories They wanna have a war to keep us on our knees They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese They wanna have a war to stop industrial disease Theyre pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind They wanna sap your energy, incarcerate your mind Give you Rule Brittania, gassy beer, page three Two weeks in Espania and Sunday striptease Meanwhile the first Jesus says, Ill cure it soon Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons The other ones out on hunger strike, hes dying by degrees How come Jesus gets industrial disease?
