| Song | Midnight Shifter |
| Artist | The Hives |
| Album | Lex Hives |
| 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 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 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 | |
