War Song Lyrics

I watch the soldiers on TV
I guess they're fighting on for me
It's just the oil that I see
And spilling blood won't set them free

I'm not positive
I can't be sure
I just don't think I
Understand this anymore

I hear the people on TV
They spin the media for me
And show me only what I need
Just think that oil could be free

I'm not positive
I can't be sure
I just don't think I
Understand this anymore

So I tune out my TV
It doesn't seem all right to me
I guess it's how it has to be
He doesn't look like God to me (me, me)

I'm not positive
I can't be sure
I just don't think I
Understand this anymore

I'm not positive
I can't be sure
I just don't think I
Understand this anymore

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.
