The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

When all the work is done

The work is done

A place for everything 'til everything is in it's 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 indirty towns we will settle down

Manufacture for the human race

The greatest story that was ever told in the lights of history

Was the grand designs of other men

And they built those walls for you and me

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

Cos idle hands make idle men

Don't start thinking with your heart again

Cos idle hands make idle men

When the work is done, the work is done

We'll bebionic and beyond the circuits of our minds

We'll get nothing done under electric sun

Leave the weight of labour far behind

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

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

Cos idle hands make idle men

Rejoice the day, the day the work is done

Rejoice the day, the day the work is done

Everybody's counting hours

Everybody's counting hours

'Til the day the work is done

'Til the day the work is done

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

Cos idle hands make idle men

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

Cos idle hands make idle men

Rejoice the day, the day the work is done

Rejoice the day, the day the work is done

Everybody's counting hours

Everybody's counting hours.
