Hives - Midnight Shifter lyrics

rate me

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' 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 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' 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

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
