better off dead Lyrics

not supposed to live past 13, i know you thought i forgot. getting older condition worsening. not born dead, but born to die. fuck their system spitshine yer eye. i watched you learn to fly that night in gainesville. flew to the rooftops on our handlebars. will couldnt see past the top of yer head. gonna gonna fly forever on our handlebars. if we dont live like this then were better off dead. no way to hold on no place to sit. the furthest thing from a perfect fit. well take our chances well wear our scars. carrie nations 1st tour and we were there 13 days without a care. we can never go back there again.

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.
