Qualifications Lyrics - Billy Bragg

With my qualifications 

With my qualifications 

I could get me a job walking a dog 

Chopping a log, cleaning a bog 

With my qualifications 

With my qualifications 

I could see myself stacking a shelf 

As a sales assistant at Do-It -Yourself 

With my qualifications 

With my qualifications 

My brother worked night and day 

At the Eurostar Terminal 

And the government gave it away 

So what's the point in university? 

For three years I read philosophy 

Now I read barcodes all day long 

Beep-beep-beep sings that check-out song 

With my qualifications 

Talking bout my qualifications 

Would you like to see my Ph.D.? 

My BSE? My GCSE? 

I gotta first in physics so I ought to know 

If your fries are for here or to go
