I 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
Ah...

I don't want to work away
Doing just what the other people say
'Cause I might die tonight
Go get a job, do what I say
Don’t think the system’s gonna let you get away
Go get a job, do what I say
Don’t think thе system’s gonna let you get away
Go gеt a job, do what I say
Don’t think the system’s gonna let you get away
Another dream…
