Black Flies Lyrics

In a congregation
Of eternal black flies
They're all getting together
In their exponential high rise
Well can we please get some
Whiles we're breaking our backs everyday
Just the same old shit
That's all we get
And these words that we all say

Well you can try all you wanna
You're probably gonna get nothing
ya you can try all you wanna
You're probably gonna get nothing
While the greedy man sits in his office and pushes his pen
We don't get anything
ya you can try all you wanna
you're probably gonna get nothing

In a congregation
Of eternal black flies
They're all getting together
In their superficial high rise
Well can we please get some
Whiles we're breaking our backs everyday
Just the same old shit
That's all we get
And these words that we all say

Well you can try all you wanna
You're probably gonna get nothing
ya you can try all you wanna
You're probably gonna get nothing
While the greedy man sits in his office and pushes his pen
We don't get anything
ya you can try all you wanna
you're probably gonna get nothing

Crazy From Here

In a congregation
Of eternal black flies
They're all getting together 
In their exponential high rise
Well can we please get some
Whiles we're breaking our backs everyday
Just the same old shit 
That's all we get
And these words that we all say

Well you can try all you wanna
You're probably gonna get nothing
ya you can try all you wanna 
You're probably gonna get nothing
While the greedy man sits in his office and pushes his pen
We don't get anything
ya you can try all you wanna
you're probably gonna get nothing

In a congregation
Of eternal black flies
They're all getting together 
In their superficial high rise
Well can we please get some
Whiles we're breaking our backs everyday
Just the same old shit 
That's all we get
And these words that we all say

Well you can try all you wanna
You're probably gonna get nothing
ya you can try all you wanna 
You're probably gonna get nothing
While the greedy man sits in his office and pushes his pen
We don't get anything
ya you can try all you wanna
you're probably gonna get nothing

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.
