Our Work Is Done Lyrics

Last one out unplug the amps
This joke was all
We had to offer

After so long it was such a soft collapse
Slow motion fall
Then a cloud passed over

Nothing is wrote and nothing reads
Oh it's just this breeze
We wont remember

'Cause our work is done
Our work is done
We drained the life out of every living thing
Oh under the sun
Our work is done

Throw your shovel out the well
There's nothing down there and it's late
I'll pour another

Time flies when you're on the run
But you remain in place
Only to discover

That our work is done
Our work is done
We drained the life out of every living thing
Oh under the sun
And our work is done

Our work is done
Our work is done
We filled our roles, yeah with everything we wanted
Oh and we had fun
But our work is done

Our work is done
We sucked the life out of every living thing
Oh, under the sun
And our work is done

Our work is done
Our work is done yeah, yeah
Our work is done yeah, yeah
Our work is done
Yeah

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.
