  • Job chances seem very thin
    It's a losing battle we must all win
    The C.B.I. are winning keep down the pay
    Mysterious people calling early in the day
    The "x" has appeared another lost life
    No tears are shed for the children and wife

    The dailys ignore it or treat it with tact
    Still when have they been known to report fact

    In our country so fair and free
    So say the holders of the economy
    There is a monster said not to exist
    They call it the employers blacklist

    In our country so fair and free
    So say the holders of the economy
    There is a monster said not to exist
    They call it the employers blacklist

    Nobody really knows what's going on
    Be a rebel and you'll always be wrong
    Same old faces are always seen
    One side of the story told to the screen
    The government is too wise to be tricked
    Anyone too clever has got to be nicked
    You listen to this and you think I'm sick
    Well if you think that mug, you must be thick

    In our country so fair and free
    So say the holders of the economy
    There is a monster said not to exist
    They call it the employers blacklist Writer/s: KENT, PRYOR
