Goodbye Baby & Amen Lyrics

For the break this new year
Strange wonders from the kingdom disappear
Bring me the poison dart
Bring me the shining spear

Human kindness
Sold down the river
Raise the edge against the hurricane water
Goodbye baby and amen

Happy little man can see just fine
The golden engines won't receive me
I sleep with the pigeons
Beneath the kingdom that deceives me

Human kindness
Sold down the river
Human kindness is overflowing
Goodbye baby and amen

Human kindness
Sold down the river
Human kindness
Sold down the river

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.
