Charming The Cobra Lyrics

Nobody's hungry, everyone is well to do
And we lack motivation
If the truth can set you free
Then how can we keep dying for you?
In a distant land of different ways

Our only connection is
A television in the living room
And the anchor is only putting you to bed
With filler in your head
Delivering a trivial story
Instead of giving you what might be
Trouble for the CEO (GOP)

They're only putting you to bed

Don't understand why they want to hurt you
You only know about your country's virtue
You've never heard of a term called blowback
It's the result of a central intelligent attack

I want to know what makes you wake up
Wake up

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.

Great song by a great band. It seems fairly obvious that the song is about people who are ignorant about the government' faults and evils, and only knowing the words of how glorious we are that are pumped into our heads as children (You only know about your country's virtue). Also, the chorus clearly is intended to show how the mass media only reinforces this ignorance by providing trivial or altered stories.
