Lay The Tarp Lyrics

How would you live in a world without pills for everything? The world is knee deep in vices and everyones got one. Huffing paint and snorting dust. Just to keep life out. Excuses are like assholes and yours stinks. Sifting through the bullshit to see whats going on. We are here to find the answers. Now its time to open up. Now I've seen through the bullshit and know whats going on.

Lies. Lies. It's all lies. It's kinda like pulling teeth. Move It. Lay the tarp keep it clean.

All busted up. It's like some pornographic image. We are here to find the answers. Now it is time to get them out. Dont make me say it again. KEEP IT CLEAN.

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, to me, pretty much tackles two problems in our modern world.. "How would you live in a world without pills for everything" We have forgotten how to take care of ourselves without somekind of medication to slowly addict us to it. The rest of the song deals with how, as a society, we have become obsessed with violence and death. Ever wonder why the biggest news stories are the ones involving death?
