Violent and Lazy Lyrics

And it's all over
Sin in the ratty air
I got suspended
Suspended in the air
I tried to kiss you
But you were never there
I went a-looking
Found you everywhere

Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk

And it's all over
Sin in the ratty yard
No, there's no pressure
Force fed buisness cards
I tried to kill him
Tried to kill you rock-n-roll star
Founding a bad trip
Some corperate facade

Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk

So now it's over
Envy the ratty star
Cause thats a winner
Love those business car
You're still pretending
Still sending those Christmas cards
And talking back there
Waiting at the bar

Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk

Violent and lazy, barbershop sport

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.
