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.
The cheesiness of the music itself kind of makes me think of the introduction to a work training video. If there were a music video, I'd imagine it being a montage of a day in the life of a retail worker, with the relentlessly peppy synth melodies being contrasted with all the stress, drudgery, and potential hazards.
I don't know if it's about communism... I always thought it was about the working class. It starts out with the orchestra just tuning up and making random noises, and then the whip cracks ("Minimum wage!" and suddenly there is coordinated music. I think it's sort of funny.
A very simple song. The phrase "minimum wage" followed by the sound of a whip cracking. This suggests to me that working for minimum wage is much like being a slave under the master's lash. A person who takes a minimum wage job generally doesn't have a lot of career options, and so they tolerate some pretty poor working conditions.

@destroyalltacos that's a good one! I never thought of the song that way, but it totally makes sense.
