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.
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,
jo like mine, a job like mine.
Be wise, look ahead, use your eyes,"
he said, "be straight, think right."
but I might die tonight!
