1	Now warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control						Warning          lights are flashing down at Quality Control	1
2	Somebody threw a spanner,      they threw him in the hole						somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole	2
3	There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town						there's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town	3
4	Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down						somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down	4
5							there's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell	5
6	There's a meeting in the boardroom, they're trying to trace the smell						there's leaking          in the washroom there's a sneak in personnel	6
7	There's a leakin' in the washroom, there's a sneakin' personnel						somewhere             in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze	7
8	Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze						'goodness me could this be Industrial Disease?	8
9	Goodness me, could this be industrial disease ?'						The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post	9
10							they're refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most	10
11	Caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post						the watchdog's got rabies the foreman's got fleas	11

13	Watchdog's got rabies, the foreman got the fleas						there's panic on the switchboard tongues are ties in knots	13
14	Everyone's concerned about industrial disease						some come out in sympathy some come out in spots	14
15							some blame the management some the employees	15
16	There's panic on       the switchboard, tongue is in knots						and everybody knows it's the Industrial Disease	16
17	Some come out in sympathy, some come out in spots						The work force is disgusted downs tools and walks	17
18	Some blame the management, some the employees						innocence is injured experience just talks	18
19	Everybody knows it's the industrial disease						everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees	19
20							that these are 'classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze'	20
21	Yeah, now the work force is disgusted down tools and walks						on ITV                                               and BBC they talk about the curse	21
22	Innocence is injured, experience just talks						philosophy is useless theology is worse	22
23	Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees						history boils over there's an economics freeze	23
24	That these are classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze						sociologists invent words that mean 'Industrial Disease'	24
25							Doctor Parkinson declared 'I'm not surprised to see you here	25
26	On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse						you've got smokers cough from smoking, brewer's droop from drinking beer	26
27	Philosophy is useless, theology is worse						I don't know how you came to get the Betty Davis knees	27
28	History boils over, there's an Economics freeze						but worst of all young man you've got Industrial Disease'	28

31	Doctor Parkinson declared, "I'm not surprised to see you here						come back and                           see me later - next patient please	31
32	You've got smokers cough from smoking						send in another victim of Industrial Disease'	32
33	Brewer's droop from drinking beer						I go down to Speaker's Corner I'm thunderstruck	33

35	But worst                           of all young man you've got industrial disease"						two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong	35
36							there's a protest singer singing a protest song - he says	36
37	He wrote me a prescription he said, "You are depressed						'they wanna have a war to keep us on our knees	37
38	I'm glad you came      to see me to get this off your chest						they wanna have a war to keep their factories	38
39	Come back and see me later, next patient please						they wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese	39
40	Send in another victim of industrial disease"						they wanna have a war to stop Industrial Disease	40
41							they're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind	41
