Honor Labor Lyrics

My father's a working man, and I'm a working man
From my shoulders to my hands, I'm a working man
I'm a working man

I grew up in a land where your trade is what you had
This isn't what I planned but I'm proud of what I am
I'm a working man, I'm a working man

I don't need a lot, just let me do what I was taught
Give me work, I'll get it done, 'cos I'm a worker's son
I'm a working man

Yes, I'm a working man

I'm a working man, what my father was I am
And if my son decides to be something different than me
I'll still be proud of him if he does the best he can,
I hope he's proud of his old man
I know that I am, 'cos he's a working man, he's working man, he's working man

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
