    [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
    [04:05]How come Jesus gets Industrial Disease!?
    [04:09]
