Ready? OK. Lyrics

Good as nickles and dirt
Broken drumsticks
And off white sweat stained shirts
Everything you see
Bleach clean and free

8 ft. wide said the map
Rusty wheels on an old 10 speed death trap
East river is right
Bleach black tonight

It's all right with me
It's all right with me
It's all right with me
Mom it's how I choose to be

Map said 8 ft. wide
I swam for miles in the low tide
East river is right
Bleach black tonight

And it's all right with me
And it's all right with me
And it's all right with me
Mom it's how I choose to be
It's all right with me

And it's all right with me
And it's all right with me
And it's all right with me
Mom it's how I choose to be
It's all right with me

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 think the general meaning of this song is that he's living on almost no money, but he's ok with it.
