First World Lyrics

Swansong over the rooftops
Call to the kid next door
Let it be proclaimed in the wind and the rain
Gotta do that
Do you really think so
Do you really think so
Hope that the light of the first world
Won't dark the light of the third world
Wash the darkness from your eyes
It's time to let your nature rise
Roses in the garden
Hummingbirds and butterflies
Flutter by
Swansong over the rooftops
Call to the kid next door
Let it be proclaimed in the wind and the rain
Gotta do that
Do you really think so
Do you really think so
Hope that the light of the first world
Won't dark the light of the third world
Wash the darkness from your eyes
It's time to let your nature rise
Roses in the garden
Hummingbirds and butterflies
Flutter by
Hope that the light of the first world
Won't dark the light of the third world.

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.

1/3 or so of the earth's population are starving and yet our country thinks little of spending £billions on a massive marque next to the river Thames. Ask yourself what's wrong with clearing 3rd world debt when you or I see nothing of our countries surpluss cash anyway?
