But I Might Die Tonight - Yusuf Islam

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

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!
