But I Might Die Tonight

Cat Stevens

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!
