Margaritas and Cock Lyrics

You gotta bring the hope back baby
The wide-eyed belief that there's something worth singing for
I've got a lot to say, I've got a lot to say
I bring the songs and I say I've got a lot to say
They are just here to sell - I came here to create
and I've got a lot to say
I've got to write these songs
I've got to sing for all the ways you love me
I've got to write for these songs
So you remember that you believe in music
I'll speak the truth so you know I mean it
I'll take my time so you know I mean it
I've got to write these songs
I've got to sing for all the ways you love me
I've got to write for these songs
So you remember that you believe in music
We stepped into the ring with a matador
There is no way to win
But we can try to gore the shit out of this motherfucker and leave a scar
So he'll remember who we are now baby
So he'll remember who we are

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.

i know GAD has always resisted conforming to corporate tastes. but basing most the songs off the new album about it was a little much for me. the album, along with this song is still good, just not amazing.

^ that's why it's called a concept album. Did you also not like how the songs on the previous album seemed to mostly be about volcanos?
