[00:55]Now warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control
[00:59]Somebody threw a spanner, they threw him in the hole
[01:02]There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town
[01:06]Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down
[01:09]There's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell
[01:12]There's leaking in the washroom there's a sneak in personnel
[01:15]Somewhere, in a corridor, someone was heard to sneeze
[01:19]Goodness me, could this be Industrial Disease?
[01:22]Caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post
[01:25]Refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most
[01:28]Watchdog got rabies, the foreman got fleas
[01:31]Everyone concerned about Industrial Disease
[01:34]There's panic on the switchboard, tongues in knots
[01:38]Some come out in sympathy, some come out in spots
[01:41]Some blame the management, some the employees
[01:44]Everybody knows it's an Industrial Disease
[01:48]
[02:00]Yeah now, the work force is disgusted, downs, tools, walks
[02:04]Innocence is injured, experience just talks
[02:07]Everyone seeks damages, everyone agrees that
[02:10]"These are classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze"
[02:13]On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse
[02:16]Philosophy is useless, theology is worse
[02:20]History boils over, there's an economics freeze
[02:23]Sociologists invent words that mean "Industrial... Disease"
[02:32]
[02:38]Doctor Parkinson declared, "I'm not surprised to see you here
[02:42]You've got smokers cough from smoking, and brewer's droop from drinking beer
[02:45]I don't know how you came to get the Bette Davis knees
[02:48]But worst of all, young man, you've got Industrial Disease!"
[02:51]He wrote me a prescription, he said, "You are depressed.
[02:55]I'm glad you came to see me to get this off your chest.
[02:58]Come back and see me later. (DING) next patient, please!
[03:01]Send in another victim of Industrial Disease. (ha ha)"
[03:05]
[03:08]("Ah!")
[03:09]
[03:10]("Splendid!")
[03:11]
[03:17]And I go down to Speaker's Corner, I'm thunderstruck
[03:20]They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks
[03:24]Two men say they're Jesus... one of them must be wrong!
[03:27]There's a protest singer, he's singing a protest song
[03:30]He says, "They wanna have a war to keep their factories
[03:34]They wanna have a war to keep us on our knees
[03:37]They wanna have a war to stop the spying Japanese
[03:40]They wanna have a war to stop Industrial Disease
[03:43]They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind
[03:46]They wanna sap your energy incarcerate your mind
[03:50]Give you Rule Brittania, gassy beer, page three
[03:53]Two weeks in Espana and Sunday striptease."
[03:56]Meanwhile, the first Jesus says, "I'll cure him soon,
[03:59]Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons."
[04:02]The other one's out on hunger strike he's dying by degrees
