On Broadway Lyrics

Everybody's going downtown tonight to take a big bath in the sugary light but I don't give a damn about the main attraction 'cause I walk to slow for that modern action We're gonna go Where we belong, be our own hero We will write our own game We will go our own way Everybody's going to the track tonight to bet on the one with the mechanical eye but I don't give a damn about a virtual horse 'cause it's got no rider and no remorse Everybody's living in a mercury world that breaks just like string of pearls but I don't give a damn about a media jones 'cause I got deep roots in a field of my own

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.
