But I Might Die Tonight

    I don’t want to work away
    Doing just what they all say
    “Work hard boy and you’ll find,
    One day you’ll have a job like mine”
    ‘Cause I know for sure
    Nobody should be that poor
    To say ‘yes,’ or sink low
    Because you happen to say so, say so, you say so

    I don’t want to work away
    Doing just what they all say
    “Work hard boy and you’ll find,
    One day you’ll have a job like mine,
    Job like mine – a job like mine”
    “Be wise, look ahead,
    Use your eyes,” he said.
    “Be straight; think right!”
    But I might die tonight!
