Mothball Fleet (Counterattack) Lyrics

there are bodies scattered in the yard, while wolves are screaming at the door. there's no protection for you here, it's everyone for themselves. soon you too will find the devil waking you from a coma with a drink in one hand a wedding ring in the other...you can't disarm me tonight, i'm sleeping this one off. my friends say i'm lashing to the mast of this sinking ship, and change has torn the sails. the wind, it came up strong and was displaced. there are some things you can't change, you should have know that, so don't try to prove me wrong. you said i have got to bury my own, i guess i should have guessed. my friends say i'm lashing to the mast of this sinking ship, and change has torn the sails. the wind, it came up strong and was displaced

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.
