But I Might Die Tonight lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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!

[Outro]
