Are You Ready Lyrics

Hey hey hey

Julie says that I must wake up
I am losing touch 'cause I think too much
I'm afraid to feel, my life feels unreal
You will not find love if you think you're not good enough

Are you ready to rebel
Change your mind, I know you live in hell
Are you ready, oh

All of my beliefs, they come back to me
I think life is tough, so my life is tough
She says find a way to develop love
To receive my love, believe you are good enough

Are you ready to rebel
Change your mind, I know you live in hell,
Are you ready

Hey, hey, hey

When we forget why we're here
Out goes love, in comes fear
I need nothing, I'm all alone
I need nothing 'til my mind takes hold
Hold, hold, hold, hold, hold, hold

Are you ready to rebel, are you ready to rebel
Are you ready, are you ready, are you ready

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 is a great song with a strong, optimistic message. It's about how low self-esteem and a negative approach to life will get you nowhere, it'll only drag you down, and all you have to do to make things better is to rebel against all the negative feelings, believe in yourself and take a positive approach.

The live version of this track on the One Man Clapping album is IMO far superior to the studio version on Strip-Mine.

I think all the early James songs sounded better live.....One Man Clapping proved that
