But I Might Die Tonight Lyrics

I always feel like this relates to that parable where the rich man accumulates all these worldly possessions, then dies that night, meets God, and realises that his riches are no good to him in the afterlife. This song's been on my mind now - I'm in an unfulfilling job, and really feeling that "I don't want to work away/Doing just what they all say". A short, sweet gem.
