Now warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control[00:00:58]

Somebody threw a spanner they threw him in the hole[00:01:01]

There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town[00:01:05]

Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down[00:01:08]

There's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell[00:01:10]

There's a leakin' in the washroom there's a sneakin' personnel[00:01:13]

Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze[00:01:16]

Goodness me could this be industrial disease '[00:01:19]

Caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post[00:01:23]

Refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most[00:01:26]

Watchdog's got rabies the foreman got the fleas[00:01:29]

Everyone's concerned about industrial disease[00:01:32]

There's panic on the switchboard tongue is in knots[00:01:36]

Some come out in sympathy some come out in spots[00:01:39]

Some blame the management some the employees[00:01:42]

Everybody knows it's the industrial disease[00:01:45]

Yeah now the work force is disgusted down tools and walks[00:02:01]

Innocence is injured experience just talks[00:02:05]

Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees[00:02:08]

That these are classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze[00:02:11]

On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse[00:02:14]

Philosophy is useless theology is worse[00:02:18]

History boils over there's an Economics freeze[00:02:21]

Sociologists invent words that mean industrial disease[00:02:24]

Doctor Parkinson declared "I'm not surprised to see you here[00:02:40]

You've got smokers cough from smoking[00:02:44]

Brewer's droop from drinking beer[00:02:46]

I don't know how you came to get the Bette Davis wheeze[00:02:48]

But worst of all young man you've got industrial disease"[00:02:51]

He wrote me a prescription he said "You are depressed[00:02:53]

I'm glad you came to see me to get this off your chest[00:02:56]

Come back and see me later next patient please[00:02:59]

Send in another victim of industrial disease"[00:03:02]

And I go down to speaker's corner I'm a thunderstruck[00:03:18]

They got free speech tourists police in trucks[00:03:22]

Two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong[00:03:25]

There's a protest singer he's singing a protest song he says[00:03:28]

They wanna have a war to keep their factories[00:03:31]

They wanna have a war to keep us on our knees[00:03:35]

They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese[00:03:38]

They wanna have a war to stop industrial disease[00:03:41]

They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind[00:03:44]

They wanna sap your energy incarcerate your mind[00:03:47]

Give you Rule Brittania gassy beer page three[00:03:51]

Two weeks in Espania and Sunday striptease[00:03:54]

Meanwhile the first Jesus says "I'll cure it soon[00:03:57]

Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons"[00:04:01]

The other one's out on hunger strike he's dying by degrees[00:04:04]

How come Jesus gets industrial disease [00:04:07]
