MTV Is Over If You Want It Lyrics

When I was young I used to think that I would never change
I somehow got it in my head that life would stay the same
And looking back I wish I had someone to tell me I was wrong
I spent so much time trying to fit in where I did not belong

We're all young and dumb and reckless
Confused but not defenseless
We'd rather live our lives regretless
Than cover someone else's setlist
We make our music for ourselves
Not for endless masses
We're just being who we are
We're just being who we are

Sing along now every one two three four
I was everything I swore I would never fucking be before
This is me putting my foot down
Cause this is who we are
We won't change for anyone
We're not reaching for the stars

We're all young and dumb and reckless
Confused but not defenseless
We'd rather live our lives regretless
Than cover someone else's setlist
We make our music for ourselves
Not for endless masses
We're just being who we are
We're just being who we are

We're just being who we are
And there's nothing you can say
To take that away

We're just being who we are
And you can't take that away

When I was young I used to think that I would never change
I somehow got it in my head that life would stay the same
And looking back I wish I had someone to tell me I was wrong
I spent so much time trying to fit in where I did not belong

We're all young and dumb and reckless
Confused but not defenseless
We'd rather live our lives regretless
Than cover someone else's setlist
We make our music for ourselves
Not for endless masses
We're just being who we are
We're just being who we are

Sing along now every one two three four
I was everything I swore I would never fucking be before
This is me putting my foot down
Cause this is who we are
We won't change for anyone
We're not reaching for the stars

We're all young and dumb and reckless
Confused but not defenseless
We'd rather live our lives regretless
Than cover someone else's setlist
We make our music for ourselves
Not for endless masses
We're just being who we are
We're just being who we are

We're just being who we are
And there's nothing you can say
To take that away

We're just being who we are
And you can't take that away

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.
