Heads In Bags Lyrics

we put our heads in bags for you,
we go out of our way to help,
we put our heads in bags for you,
we go out of our way to help.

there's nothing but the best for you,
there's everything that you desire,
there's nothing but the best for you,
there's everything you desire.

you can win,
you can win,
you can win me over again.

don't walk on there, the grass is new,
don't set fire to the fire escape,
don't walk on there, the grass is new,
don't set fire to the fire escape.

and you can win,
you can win,
you can win me over again.

and you can win,
you can win,
you can win me over.

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.

Just my guess, but I think this may be to do with the law. About boundries we can't cross, things we can't do to displease the country leaders, the rules - 'Don't walk on there, the grass is new'. Even though we may sometimes not like the government, or even the people leading it, still, because we are a part of the nation, no matter what, to a certain extent we have to do what they say - 'and you can win' 'you can win me over again' Maybe he is saying that no matter what, the government will always win in the end, and becuase the singer (we) are a part of the nation, they win us over, becuase whether we like it or not, we are in their hands. A great song by the way, love it when he says '...ME OVER' and the tune changes slightly. This is all just my guess. It's not certain.
