You Don't Know Lyrics

well first of all i'd like to say fuck off
if you don't get it why don't you
go shove your head back up your ass
and don't waste my time
i don't need your opinion
cuz you don't know what it's like to be like me
so keep your mouth shut
this may come as kind of a surprise
i don't like you and i don't care
what you think about what i do
and most of all, i don't need your opinion
cuz you don't know what it's like to be like me
so keep your mouth shut
well finally that's the way it is
i like somethin' you don
't and your tellin'
me it's shit. it's a waste of time
we can't change our opinions
i don't know what it's like to be you
i don't know what, so i'll keep my mouth shut

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.

This one is for everyone who ever told someone what they should be. Its about not changing for anyone and being yourself. You left out "We don't want to be like you, and you know what else" but that's just because you copied it from RBF's website and they left it out too. Oh well, great song.

i agree with endisforever, but i think the song is also telling ppl that if you don't know about something, shut your mouth about it. kinda like the quote "don't hold an opinion on something you don't understand"

i love the way they sing this song too. especially the line "why don't you go shove your head back up your ass?" it cracks me up.
