The Next Song Lyrics

Here in america
they say that we are free
entitled to opinions
but we're judged for what they might be
we can't live in
a place without any change
and I wish
today would be different
but I knew it'd end up the same
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
whatever description that you label me
and nobody cares at all
my failures your pleasure
it never gets better
I can't accept your words
and I won't let them touch my pride
we're simple in our complexion
then we're labeled and just tossed aside
nothing to say
there's nothing I can say
to make things better
I wish that today would be different
I should have known better

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.
