Fortune 500 Lyrics

taking in the party
he put me down for awhile
100 watts of ambition
springing off his smile
his lips hooked set to kiss me
but he closed up like a fist
he's got a fortune in charm
and makes a gift out of empty arms
but i was sold, i was sold, no one had to convince me
bendng over backwards
i watched the light burn out
his excuses fell like diamonds
brilliant, cutting, lost and found
he's got a fortune in charm
and makes a gift outof empty arms
but i was sold, i was sold, no one had to convince me
(i don't believe it)
(believe it)

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.

I love the description in the lyrics. It forms such a clear-cutting image into my mind every time I hear this song.
