Someone noted at Rosebuds' "Blue Bird" entry that the lyrics all over the internet for the song are inaccurate. I'd hazard that most of the lyrics everywhere are wrong simply because many other sites use engines to collate new lyrics on the internet, many originating from transcription at SongMeanings by its users. So when the lyrics are wrong here, the bad gene gets carried through.
To correct this in the past, users could readily edit the lyrics in the SM database, but the many licensing agreements that now govern many lyrics prevent edits from going through. Instead, what we get is a note informing us that the correction has been submitted to the lyrics' owners for approval, even though SM is unable to guarantee that anything will come out of it.

This. Sucks.
