Midnight Shifter
The Hives
Letra

You do your time
Tow the line
Wading thru the water
Heading for the wine

Throw your pearls for swine
Break your spine
You'll never reach a hundred
Doin' ninety-nine
You gotta lift your chin
To see what comes up ahead
Before the casket slams shut
And the fat lady's dead

But if I do, do, do all I can
Tomorrow comes a chance
And if I do, do, do all I don't
There's no reason it won't

I'm gonna sit right down
I'm gonna count to four
So hand it over a couple million or more!

Said, I know you gotta work hard
Working hard every day (midnight shifter)
I know you gotta work hard
Working hard in every way (midnight shifter)

Surprise, surprise
I got wise
When you get up in the morning
I just close my eyes

No dos or dies
Are worth the price
Cause once you hit the floor
They cut you down to size

No, don't get me wrong
We could be one in the same
But there's a difference in the way
That we're playin' the game

Never let no one
Be no boss over me
You work in chains
But my thinking is free

Cause if I do, do, do all I can
Tomorrow comes a chance
And if I do, do, do all I don't
There's no reason it won't

I'm gonna sit right down
I'm gonna count to four
So hand it over a couple million or more!

Said, I know you gotta work hard
Working hard every day (midnight shifter)
I know you gotta work hard
Working hard in every way (midnight shifter)
