The Knowledgeable Hasbeens Lyrics

Knock the wind the wind right out
Knock it off
I can’t breathe
Could I sing another line?
I think my knees are getting weak
And yes, these knees are weak
But who would believe in a hypocrite who sells himself
Who’s your scapegoat now?
Well, it’s a million to one, but I think I got the part
Trampled through the grind
I wouldn’t extend my disgust
But there’s no one here except you
I don’t see the point
In carrying on
We could make the best
Out of nothing
Who’s your scapegoat now?
Who’s your scapegoat?
Who’s your scapegoat now?
Well, it’s a million to one, but I think I got the part
Trampled through the grind
I would sustain this contempt, but I’d be wasting time again
Hey, it’s all I’ve got
Please leave the confessions
I could find a job
Waiting tables
Or something

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.

His thoughts are much more clouded. Now the rest of this ep is great, But this song seemes stretched.. kind of filler.. which really hurts in an ep. There's just not much depth to this song, unfortunately although I love Kasher. It's pretty blatant and most the verses seem unrelated, which is partly shown by how few comments this song has (before this, none). Please, someone, tie this song together for me.
