What's Next Lyrics

They just keep swallowing us
They just hustling us
They just keep beating us down, down

They just keep holding us back
Wish i could just see the attack
They just keep beating us down, down
It's time we took up a stand
Take the bong out of our hands
'Cause right now we just don't realize

What’s Next
look what they've done to us
we don't know who to trust

What’s Next
It's just so meaningless
Wish I was simple in bliss

Take the soldiers and put them in sand
Pull the child right from the man
It's not hard to get swallowed up
George Bush is fucking us up
See the lies that he has sown
Wash us up and he has us done
Wash us up and he has us done
This time he has taken
Has just left us thinkin'

They just keep swallowing us, We don't know who to trust
They just keep swallowing us, We've got each other to trust

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.

Good song, but sadly the only one worth repeated listens on the new album.
