The Sandinista! version of "Career Opportunities" was re-recorded as one of the last songs on the album, with vocal tracks by the very young Luke and Ben Gallagher (keyboardist Mickey Gallagher's sons) over a simple keyboard melody. .

Career Opportunities - Remastered Lyrics

[00:05.52] They offered me the office, offered me the shop
[00:10.92] They said I'd better take anything they got
[00:15.83] Do you wanna make tea at the BBC?
[00:19.30] Do you wanna be, do you really wanna be a cop?
[00:24.69] Career opportunities, the ones that never knock
[00:26.47] Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock
[00:29.06] Career opportunity, the ones that never knock
[00:34.25] I hate the army and I hate the R.A.F.
[00:39.42] I don't wanna go fighting in the tropical heat
[00:44.48] I hate the civil service rules
[00:47.02] I won't open a letter bomb for you
[00:51.53] Career opportunities, the ones that never knock
[00:54.55] Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock
[00:57.24] Career opportunity, the ones that never knock
[01:02.47]
[01:06.82] Bus driver, ambulance man
[01:10.65] Ticket inspector, I don't understand
[01:14.58] They're gonna have to introduce conscription
[01:19.84] They're gonna have to take away my prescription
[01:25.16] If they wanna get me making toys
[01:27.45] If they wanna get me, well, I got no choice
[01:31.10] Career opportunities, the ones that never knock
[01:35.02] Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock
[01:37.26] Career opportunity, the ones that never knock
[01:42.17] Career, career, career
[01:49.06] And I'm never gonna knock
[01:50.69]
