The Set-up Lyrics

Lie to me
Tell me that everything will be all right
(Who-o-a) Lie to me
Don't say it didn't mean anything
1-2-3 GO!
I should have known when my kicks
Crossed the hinge on your door
That you had something more in store
Implore

Do not push my back to the wall [x2]
This is a set up
Rush adrenaline
Fake, phony, fed up
Bass, Alkaline
This is a set up
Waste everything
This is a set up, set up
You never told me
Till the pressure started building
You never told me
I was wrong
I was right [x2]
You never told me
Till the building started shaking
Now I'm surrounded on all sides
Lie to me
Tell me that everything will be all right
(Who-o-a) Lie to me
Don't say it didn't mean anything
Lie to me

Killing joke cause your smile was the calm to the storm
And the ties that bind have been torn

I said
Do not push my back to the wall [x2]
This is a set up
Rush adrenaline
Fake, phony, fed up
Bass, Alkaline
This is a set up
Waste everything
This is a set up, set up
You never told me
Till the pressure started building
You never told me
I was wrong
I was right [x2]
You never told me
Till the building started shaking
Now I'm surrounded on all sides
Lie to me
Tell me that everything will be all right
(Who-o-a) Lie to me
Don't say it didn't mean anything
Lie to me

You take this for granted
Right?
And I never wanted anybody else
You take this for granted
Right?
And I never wanted anybody else
You took this all for granted
You took it all for
You took this all for granted
You took it all
Took it all
Lie to me
Tell me that everything will be alright
1-2
1-2-3 Go!

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.
