Lost? Lyrics

when i was young, america meant to me-- land of the beautiful and land of the free. now i look around and all i see are americans in poverty. we're all lost without a trace we can't keep up, can't find our place we're all lost without a clue and our leaders never know what to do. taking things slow--one step at a time, making sure we get left behind. dreams of success, well they're all gone. this american way of life i've been robbed! we're all lost without a trace we can't keep up, can't find our place we're all lost without a clue and our leaders never know what to do.

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.

Its about coming to realize the idea of America is far from what it really is. I've come to realize this quite recently.
