New Idols Lyrics

We don't dance to love songs
We don't dance to love songs
We don't dance to love songs
We don't dance to love songs with synthesized strings
We don't dance to love songs
We don't like the sound that the radio brings
We just don't dance to love songs

I get tired of watching others' lives
Non-existent businessmen that cheat on their wives
Johnny gets drunk and Johnny gets loud
And Jenny wonders why she ever had him around

We don't dance to love songs
We don't dance to love songs
We don't dance to love songs
We're born in an era where we don't fit in
We don't dance to love songs
We don't dance to love songs that lovers don't sing
We just don't dance to love songs

Can't you see new idols?
We could be new idols

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.
