Biography:
garage rock and band from Fagersta, Sweden, that emerged in the US and the UK in 2000, but existed for nearly a decade before that, playing Punk Rock. The band claims that their songs are written by an honorary "sixth Hive", Randy Fitzsimmons. Since Nicholaus Almqvist can be found listed under the pseudonym Randy Fitzsimmons in the archives of STIM (the Swedish equivalent of the Performing Right Society) many believe Fitzsimmons is 'fictional'. (Nicholaus Almqvist vehemently denies this.

Intro: Dm x 4
Dm
You do your time, tow the line
Wading through the water heading for the wine
Gm
Throw your pearls for swine, break your spine
You'll never reach a hundred doing 99
Dm
You gotta lift your chin to see what comes up ahead
Gm Dm
Before the casket slams shut and the fat lady's dead
Gm Am Dm
But if I do do do all I can
Gm
Tomorrow comes a chance
Gm Am Dm
And if I do do do all I don't
Dm Gm
There's no reason it won’t
I'm gonna sit right down, I'm gonna count to four
Gm
So hand it over a couple million or more!
Dm
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
Dm
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
Dm
Surprise surprise, I got wise
When you get up in the morning I just close my eyes
Gm
No dos or dies are worth the price
Cause once you hit the floor they cut you down to size
Dm
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
Gm
Never let no one be no boss over me
Dm
You work in chain, but my thinking is free
Gm Am Dm
But if I do do do all I can
Gm
Tomorrow comes a chance
Gm Am Dm
And if I do do do all I don't
Dm Gm
There's no reason it won’t
I'm gonna sit right down, I'm gonna count to four
Gm
So hand it over a couple million or more!
Dm
OOOOOHHHH YEAAAAAH
Dm
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
