People to Impress Lyrics

everyone cover your ears
i'm singing a song again
i've not been ordained
by the proper punk rock authorities yet
write me a letter today
if i don't return it
it says nothing about our friendships
laced contents, honest please
i know one in a million is what honest means
look at bands
they can dress quite fancily
i'm sure you've sold more records than me
go false and forth with trickery
be devoured by the world hungrily
everyone cover your ears
i'm singing a song again
i've not been ordained
by the proper punk rock authorities yet
look at bands
they can dress quite fancily
i'm sure you've sold more records than me
go false and forth with trickery
it'll lick its fingers happily

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.
