Power Chord Academy Lyrics

rejoice! we've draped ourselves in noise
the plan's not a plan it's a goddamn ploy
we can't get away without a trail of noise
i'm sick i'll tell you why, who lives past 30?
i'll tell you who
fools, scoundrels, hypocrites and hip kids
by the time i'm 30 i hope i'm deaf if not dead
the sound is loud and pours out the speakers like blood out my mouth
like blood out your mouth and it pours out
i hope i'm dead, i hope i'm fucking deaf
i hope i'm dead

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.

To me it means.. how older people seem to lose contact with their open minds.
