Because They Can't Speak For Themselves Lyrics

I've worn them on my feet.

I've eaten some for food.

I've been in love with their beauty.

I've been taught not to care...

I KILL THEM FOR CONVINIENCE!

HOW COULD I BE SO INHUMANE!?

I NEVER MEANT TO HURT! BUT I AM!

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.

....Btw, this is on a split called "I'd Rather Be Flag Burning" (Title is amazing). I was released by G-7 records, adn I believe on Recess Records.

It's also on the I Spy album Perversity is Spreading... It's About Time, except it's referred to as "Murder".
