Stuart Price - The Day The Work Is Done lyrics

[Verse 1] When all the work is done The work is done A place for everything til everything is in its place And every setting sun When the work was done Was a day that didn't go to waste When all the work is done It will be done Producing everything for everything to be replaced And in dirty towns we will settle down Manufacture for the human race [Pre-Chorus 1] The greatest story that was ever told in the lines of history Was the grand designs of other men And they built those walls for you and me [Chorus 1] So don't start thinking we can start again Start a riot in the streets my friend Or they'll start pulling us apart again Cause idle hands make idle men Don't start thinking with your heart again Cause idle hands make idle men [Verse 2] When the work is done, the work is done We'll be bionic and beyond the circuits of our minds We'll get nothing done under electric sun Leave the weight of labour far behind [Pre-Chorus 2] We're the greatest story that was ever told But we don't know where we're from And the walls became but a memory Of the days when all the work begun [Chorus 2] So don't start thinking we can start again Start a riot in the streets my friend Or they'll start pulling us apart again Cause idle hands make idle men Rejoice the day, the day the work is done Rejoice the day, the day the work is done [Bridge] Everybody's counting hours Everybody's counting hours Til the day the work is done Til the day the work is done [Chorus 3] So don't start thinking we can start again Start a riot in the streets my friend Or they'll start pulling us apart again Cause idle hands make idle men Don't start thinking we can start again Start a riot in the streets my friend Or they'll start pulling us apart again Cause idle hands make idle men Rejoice the day, the day the work is done Rejoice the day, the day the work is done [Outro] Everybody's counting hours Everybody's counting hours
