Seven Lyrics

father please take me back, i don't fit in with these cruel earthlings, i've done my time please take me home, i was five, i was bad, you sent me here erased my memory, babysitter washed my mouth with soap, i was ten, had no friends, the teacher hit me with a paddle, the neighbors ate my little dog ralph, father please take me back i don't fit in with these cruel earthlings i've done my time please take me home please fly your spaceship out and beam me up don't leave me down here i'll be so good from now, i had a girl, she took her clothes off with my best friend, i didn't know till they told me on tv, i was mad, my brother shot my favorite bird, everywhere i go they laugh at me

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.
