• 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!
