Перевод песни Cat Stevens – But I Might Die Tonight

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»
'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
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!
