Against The Grain Lyrics

It's really been a pleasure to be such a pain
Oh, like a nasty stain that won't go away
I won't go away
Don't care what you say
Doin' things my way
I've got the hammer to nail you back into your box
I-I'm here to stay
I've got the power to stand up and take what I want
Are we all insane - Hate for hatred's sake
I choose to break away - Runnin' against the grain
I put the puzzle together and I slice my own pie
You know some won't like it - but to me that's just fine
Out of my way I don't want to play
Do you hear what I say
I don't want to play
I've got the pressure to back you right up to the wall
And you - do you hear what I say
This is the hour I welcome you all to the ball
Are we all insane - Hate for hatred's sake
I choose to break away - runnin' against the ... grain
Are we all insane - hate for hatred's sake
I choose... I choose to break away

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.
