Oh yeah
You do your time
toe 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' 99
You gotta lift
your chin to see
what comes up ahead
before the casket
slams shut
and the fat lady's dead
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 every way
Midnight shifter
Surprise surprise
I got wise
When you get up
in the morning
I just close my eyes
No do's or die's
are worth the price
cause once you
hit the floor
they cut you down to size
but 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 every way
Midnight shifter
Oh yeah
I know
you gotta work hard
working hard every day
Midnight shifter
Said I know
you gotta work hard
working hard every way
Midnight shifter
He-he-hey
Midnight shifter
I know
you gotta work hard
working hard every day
Midnight shifter
I know
you gotta work hard
working hard every way
Midnight shifter
He-he-hey
He-he-hey
Midnight shifter
I know
you gotta work hard
working hard every day
Midnight shifter
I know
you gotta work hard
working hard every day
