White Picket Defense System Lyrics

yea!
hide behind politics
hide behind policy
this is the modern age so we got you on radar
hide behind fences
put up our best defenses
this is the modern age so we got you we got you

we're preserving ourselves
deep down into our shells
shells
while the swarm awaits
while the storm awaits at the front gates

savage
savage etiqueette
guarded by
guarded by the cannibals
oh how unfortunate that we've become the animals
eyes wont dialate beyond the peripherals

we're preserving ourselves
deep down into our shells
shells
while the swarm awaits
while the swarm awaits
at the front gates

regenerate
regenerate yea
regenerate
no longer can we disembowl the hands that we shake
no longer can we disembowl the hands that we shake

regenerate
regenerate yea
regenerate
no longer can we disembowl the hands that we shake
the hands that we shake
the hands that we shake

yea, the hands that we shake

we're preserving ourselves
deep down into our shells
shells
shells

we all run behind white fences
and hide behind our best defenses
and hide behind our best defenses
and hide behind our best defenses
we hide we hide we hide
we all run and hide

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.
