Battle Cry For A Better World Lyrics

Man made convention breeds accident prevention. A garbage man blew his head off: He deals with all our waste. Refuse to learn a lesson, keep asking the same question. History repeats itself as we wash down the drain. Who are we? And what have we become? A race to ignorance. Who are we? And what have we become? A race of ignorance: Convenience bought by the wholesale ton. Obedience and peace sought through the barrel of a gun. Upkeep your illusion first world leaders Of equal rights and global harmony. Celebrate by spending billions on Olympic stadiums, While just outside there's thousands sound asleep upon your streets. Its time to stand up, its time to fight back. Its time to stand up, its time to fight back.

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.
