AMERICAN EYES PART ONE (BLACK OF MOUTH) Lyrics

holding grudges loose change and private wars
force age on mothers to race hearts on kitchen floors
the things i loath fill my mouth with black, nothing's changed
looking into a third story window at jesus, elvis, and john wayne
i won't phone in my vote to uphold the american way
i won't let my brain die, drowned in TV waves
i'll spit this black from my mouth
at this world i dispise
i'll spit this midnight venom into your AMERICAN EYES FROM THE BACK OF MY SKULL TO THE BLACK OF MY MOUTH
HATE FILLS MY HEAD, I CAN'T GET IT OUT.

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.
