Midnight Shifter

You do your time, tow the line Wading through the water, heading for the wine Throw your pearls for swine, break your spine You'll never reach a hundred doing 99 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 all I can, tomorrow comes a chance And if I 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 Said I know you gotta work hard Working hard every day, 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 No, don't get me wrong, we could be one in the same But there's a difference in the way that we're playing the game Never let no one be no boss over me You work in chain but my thinking is free 'Cause if I do, do all I can, tomorrow comes a chance And if I 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 Said I know you gotta work hard Working hard every day, midnight shifter
