Words and music by The Police



I don't want no dead end job

I don't wanna be no number

I don't want no dead end job

I don't wanna be no number



The queue gets longer everyday

I just ain't no time to stay

I ain't gonna run away

All I want to do is play



Don't wanna be no teacher

I don't wanna be no slave

I don't wanna work no assembly line

A' like my uncle Dave



The queue gets longer everyday

I just ain't got time to stay

I ain't gonna run away

All I wanna do is play



I don't want no dead end job

I don't want no dead end job

I don't want no dead end job

I don't want no dead end job



I don't want no dead end job

I don't wanna be no number

I don't want no dead end job

I don't wanna be no number



The queue gets longer everyday

All I wanna do is play

I just ain't got time to stay

But I ain't gonna run away



Don't wanna be no millionaire

Don't wanna own no mint

I don't wanna be no tax exile

And I don't mind being skint



The queue gets longer every day

I just ain't got time to stay

I ain't gonna run away

All I wanna do is play



I don't want no dead end job

I don't want no dead end job

I don't want no dead end job

I don't want no dead end job



I don't want no dead end job

I don't wanna be no number

I don't want no dead end job

I don't wanna be no number



The queue gets longer everyday

I just ain't no time to stay

I ain't gonna run away

All I want to do is play



Don't wanna be no millionaire

Don't wanna own no mint

I don't wanna be no tax exile

And I don't mind being skint



The queue gets longer every day

I just ain't got time to stay

All I wanna do is play

I ain't gonna run away



I don't want no dead end job

I don't want no dead end job

I don't want no dead end job

I don't want no dead end job
