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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/cat+stevens/but+i+might+die+tonight+from+film+deep+end_20819274.html ]
'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
