Tinfoil Hats Lyrics

He reminded me that the only way to
keep aliens from reading
your mind
is to wear a tinfoil hat friend and wear it all the time
life keeps on changing
tell it to stay still but it won't listen
I just want you near me like you are now for good
transistor
tape recorder, tell me about everything that I've lost
I know
you've got it all stored somewhere
at least I'm keeping my
fingers crossed
life keeps on changing
tell it to stay still but
it won't listen
I just want you near me like you are now for good
kid I'm gonna be with you longer than the world can stand cause
there's a light that's stronger
shinning out of your eyes I see it
and it won't be long now
life keeps on changing
tell it to stay still
but it won't listen
I just want you near me like you are now for good

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.

obviously, but i think it's more about how his son has changed his views in life. He has reminded him about enjoying life. Anyone who is a Rocky fan will know that his songs tend to lean towards the darker sign most of the time. I love this song, cause he exposes the other side of him, the side that his son brings out. And no matter how dark the rest of the wold is, his son will always be able to make it all ok.
