The Day The Music Killed Lyrics

Kids with guns playing just for fun Or maybe it's in the name of a Manson Don't give me that look from where I sat Why doesn't someone blame the fucking gun So don't slow down the tape To do it would be a big mistake That might just be the day the music killed the kid who pressed play Metal god suddenly king of the dead I' like to know what's going on in those kid's heads K.C. said, he'd like to leave Kids hid the carvings underneath their fucking sleeves (Chorus) Paul's not dead that's just what they said It goes to show what's going on in our little heads Take what we say with a quart of salt If you act dumb it's not my fucking fault

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.
