Brain Wash Lyrics

Livin’ in the back of my mind
There’s a wild idea
I just took a look around
At all the shit in here
My mind is clutted like someones attic
Before I burn this house down
I better fix it up quick

I think I need a brain wash
It needs a clean
My mind must be filthy
After what it has seen

I need to throw my thoughts out
Out into the rain
I need to purify my wooden legged brain

I need a wash
I need to clean my mind
Sometimes I get lost in here
And I don’t like what I find

I think I need a brain wash
I need a brain wash

Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain.

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.
