Never Working Lyrics

I admit I don't do nothing fast
I left town just to get off my ass
Then I learned that this TV out here too
The same program that I'm used to

Ain't no mind relative, bill of health
Read a book, says "Go help yourself"
Think this author is giving me the key
Or he's being condescending

I've been waiting
Also thinking
Lots of planning
Never working

Got my life and my unfinished plans
Devils always prefer idle hands
Not to say that I'll join the dark side yet
I need all the help I can get

Never mind what I do with my time
Betting nickels to pay off in dimes
People say you can do that till you're dead
Well, thank God it's not my last breath

I've been waiting
Also thinking
Lots of planning
Never working

I've been waiting
Also thinking
Lots of planning
Never working
Never working
Never working
Never working
Never working

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.
