When Will It End Lyrics

A violent trend of thought,
And though we're in control,
Our joy is lost,
We must not become like,
Those who came here to fight,
Why should we let our joy,
Turn to a force that will destroy?
When...WILL IT END!?!?! (3X)
When will all the violence end?
I have a seen a passive stance,
Turn to pride and then advance,
Into a state of social war,
Goals of the past, they seem no more,
When...WILL IT END!?!?! (3X)
With bridges burned we can't go back,
Unobtrusive days are in the past,
We've sounded out and so must stay,
And disregard past violence ways,
When...WILL IT END!?!?! (3X)

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.
