Lights Out (Angry Samoans cover) Lyrics

Can't have no more you can leave me alone
Forget decisions, and get in to your mind
Hope things are better when the world gets black
Grab you fork and make your first attack
Lights out! Poke, poke, poke your eyes out
Lights out! Put a grin in your hand and put your lights out
I can see it so what's it all about?
I don't understand so just poke your eyes out
First thing, I did it today
Time to get hip, turns the lights our way
Lights out! Poke, poke, poke your eyes out
Lights out!
The pokin' in my eye is drivin' me insane
Don't worry about it, just let it rip
to the lights out grip
Lights out! Put a grin in your hand and poke your eyes out
Lights out!

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.
