Homeless

Super Modern World

The Messiah

1985 you're seventeen and you're about to explode
                                    Your mum and your dad never understood
                                             You just want to burn
                                              So you start a band
                                            And do the best you can
                                 This time you're really gone to kick some ass
                                         4 in a small van of fortune 
                                           You're gonna hit the road
                                                 And you say 
                                     Fuck you fuck you fuck you on and on
                                    And ten years later you're still a punk
                                            You never meant to stop
                                            Yes you're a tough guy
                                             And you ask for more
                               More money, more beers, more girls after the gigs
                            Now that you're on the top you don't wanna to get down
                                                  Well I say
                                     Fuck you fuck you fuck you on and on
                                       You just forgot what punk is for
                                          It's not a fashion attitude
                                       You sold your soul to your enemy
                                        Pretending you won't let it be 
                                         And in 1996 if you're a punk
                                               My mum is a punk
                                               My dad is a punk
                                             My brother is a punk
                                            And everybody is a punk
                                     Fuck you fuck you fuck you on and on

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.
