The Clash Lyrics

Blood is my war, blood is my music
Written in Force, written in plastic

Cut me down, I'm pulling on the trigger
Death is my paw, living is fear

Shine to me, baby
Follow me
Hold me, my friend
Take me where I can please

Suit for a tear, we barely deliver
Afflictive to the real world, we become killers
Self-wired on your self-life sitting under half-light
Do you wanna be zen, do you wanna be cure?

Shine to me, baby
Follow me
Hold me, my friend
Take me where I can please

Let me clear up all confusion
Listen to the animal, listen to the freedom
Then listen to the sharpened edge of a tin can
Welcome to the end, welcome to the reason

Shine to me, baby
Follow me
Hold me, my friend
Take me where I can please

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.
