Get Some Food In the House Lyrics

chorus:
we're gonna get some food in the house tonight
get some food in the house tonight
we're gonna get some food in the house tonight
get some food in the house

for to starve is to hate is to kill is to sin
better love's on your plate get your fill and dig in

chorus

hell is strife and confusion be frightened or fine
well if life's an illusion we might as well dine

chorus

we're gonna get some food on the table tonight
get some food on the table tonight
we're gonna get some food on the table tonight
get some food in the house

well now we're feelin full in the house tonight
feelin full in the house tonight
oh yeah we're feelin full in the house tonight
feelin full in the house

we're gonna go to sleep in the house tonight
go to sleep in the house tonight
we're gonna go to sleep in the house tonight
go to sleep in the house

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.
