Cool Lyrics

we're just putting pieces together
i feel like a thief
i feel like a fool
i will rearrange this forever
cause i think it's lame
but i think it's cool
i think it's cool

i heard this song on the radio once
i stole a bar
i stole a drink
i used the last straw for my ink
sometimes i fear i neglect to think
sometimes i fear

we're just pulling pieces apart
a piece of this is yours
i'm calling it art
i know it's lame
and it breaks my heart
it breaks my
it breaks my heart

i heard this song on the radio once
i stole a bar
i stole a drink
i used the last straw for my ink
sometimes i fear i neglect to think
sometimes i fear

there's nothing new
there's nothing new
everything's borrowed
everything's used
there's nothing new
there's nothing new
everything's borrowed
everything's used
there's nothing new
but we know it's cool
and we're cooler than you
and you know it's true

i heard this song on the radio once
i stole a bar
i stole a drink
i used the last straw for my ink
sometimes i fear i neglect to think
sometimes i fear

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.
