Mental Pollution Lyrics

Well I can’t blame the rain
For all of my pain
And I can’t blame the clouds
And I can’t blame the sky
Or be jealous of the birds that
Fly

Does anybody hear me
Does anybody hear me
Because I don’t

Because I lost my hearing long ago
From the media bombs going off in my living room
Lies on the tv
Lies in the movies
Lies on the billboards
Nobody tells the truth
I’m going deaf

Does anybody hear me
Does anybody hear
Because I don’t

I’m tired of all the violence
We’ve lost lives enough
And I’m tired of all the nudity so much sex without love
And I’m tired of all the smokers blowing smoke in my face
And the same old boring models decorating every fashion page
I don’t trust the politicians
Or the movie ratings board
And I’m tired of fighting all these inner and outer wars
I’ve got bullets in my head
I’ve got blood in my ears
And the world could drown from the truth that’s in my tears

Does anybody hear me
Does anybody hear
Because I don’t because i. . .

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.

This song is great for our times with all the trash on the television, billboards, and any type of media including this computer. Lol. Anyway, I love it, because we are polluting our minds with garbage and sometimes you might feel like you're the only one who is disgusted and feeling sick from all the dirt. Does anybody hear me?
