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 

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 be bionic 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 myfriend 
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
