The Number No Good Things Could Come Of Lyrics

Now let me introject about this little peace we have
And all the months passed dragging through the mud,
dragging through the mud,
dragging down.
Helps me comment on virginity.
Help me find the price of humility.
As a matter of fact you owe me some
As a matter of fact you owe me.
And I guess,
And I guess,
And I confess,
I sometimes think I'm God,
Do I exist just to work for you?
Cancer is the proof
We will be going nowhere soon
You're the reason why
Im always asking of you twice
Cancer is the proof
We will be going nowhere soon
You're the reason why
They're always doubting of us twice.

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.

Gorgeous song. Very different from anything that GJ has done. It's just Daryl and Larry. LISTEN TO IT.

This song is great. It used to be called St. Alex and featured only the guitar. IT had a few different lyrics here and there, but still amazing.

i think it is about losing naivity when you become a certain age in life.

I think that third tragedy is close. But i think the song is pretty much about all the hassle daryl has received about breaking Edge. There is a line on the El Mark itunes release where he says "As a matter of fact you owe me (your biggest fan)" and i think that he kind of felt he was past being straight edge, but people were giving him so much shit for it and so many people were saying "how could you sell me out"?
