Don't want to work away Doin' 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!
