I Don't Wanna Face It Lyrics

Say you're looking for a place to go
Where nobody knows your name
You're looking for oblivion
With one
Eye on the Hall of Fame
I don't want to face it oh no
I don't want to face it no, no, no, no
Well I can dish it out
But I just can't take it
Say you're looking for some peace and love
Leader of a big old band
You want to save humanity
But it's people that you just can't stand
I don't want to face it oh no
I don't want to face it no, no, no, no
Well I can sing for my supper
But I just can't make it
Well now you're looking for a world of truth
Trying to find a better way
The time has come to see yourself
You always look the other way
I don't want to face it oh no
I don't want to face it no, no, no, no
Well I can see the promised land
And I know I can make it!
I don't want to face it I know
I don't want to face it oh no
I don't want to face it oh no
I don't want to face it
I don't want to face it
I just can't face it no more
Every time I look in the mirror
I don't see anybody there

Happy X-Mas (War Is Over)

Say you're looking for a place to go
Where nobody knows your name
You're looking for oblivion
With one
Eye on the Hall of Fame 
I don't want to face it oh no
I don't want to face it no, no, no, no
Well I can dish it out
But I just can't take it 
Say you're looking for some peace and love
Leader of a big old band
You want to save humanity
But it's people that you just can't stand 
I don't want to face it oh no
I don't want to face it no, no, no, no
Well I can sing for my supper
But I just can't make it 
Well now you're looking for a world of truth
Trying to find a better way
The time has come to see yourself
You always look the other way 
I don't want to face it oh no
I don't want to face it no, no, no, no
Well I can see the promised land
And I know I can make it! 
I don't want to face it I know
I don't want to face it oh no
I don't want to face it oh no
I don't want to face it 
I don't want to face it 
I just can't face it no more
Every time I look in the mirror
I don't see anybody there

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.
