manifest destiny Lyrics

Can't dismantle this with your lack of tact so I'll wait.
I'm working with what I've got and I've got no will to act the patriot.
Such a little sheriff, so indifferent, so frightened, so ready to snuff this peaceful dissent.
Never possessing an affinity with all people, across all borders, only with those "lucky" enough to be born into the right rank, file, and faith.
Only with those on board.
Gotta get on board cowboy or you'll get fucked.
I'm working with what I've got and I have something.
And through your eyes I would say I have nothing; only through your eyes I have nothing.
I'm sorry for what has happened, but I can't find glory from the death of others.
Don't count me in on your revenge.

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.
