Work Or War Lyrics

18 NOW, YOU'RE OUT OF SCHOOL, YOUR CHILDHOOD IS SPENT
WORK OR WAR
ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO IS FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY THE RENT
WORK OR WAR
IF YOU'VE GOT NO MONEY THEN YOUR LIFE IS UP FOR HIRE
WORK OR WAR
START THE CYCLE, JOB TO JOB AND HOPE YOU DON'T GET FIRED
WORK OR WAR
WORK FOR LIFE
TO GET WHAT YOU NEED
LIVE AS A WAGE SLAVE TO CORPORATE GREED
OR KILL FOR CASH
THE GOVERNMENTS WHORE
THESE ARE YOUR CHOICES BECAUSE THEY PREY ON THE POOR
SEEN THE COMMERCIALS AND IT'S JUST A COUPLE YEARS
WORK OR WAR
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS TOWARDS A COLLEGE AND CAREER
WORK OR WAR
THEY'RE IN THE MAIL, THEY'RE ON THE PHONE, IT'S JUST A STEP AWAY
WORK OR WAR
IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED, THE G.I. BILL DOESN'T PAY
WORK OR WAR

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.
