New Regulations Lyrics

Here we go

Yaaaaaaaa
Father passed out again
Passed out on the couch again
I left him at an early age
I had to get far away
America where you from
Left his heart in Saigon
The war forgot him long ago
He did not forget the war he did not let go

This time I got my gun up
I got new regulations
And no ones getting through
New regulations

Father went out again
Out on the streets again
His full bag full of hate
Some times I feel the same
With the bottle of misery
I took the father in front of me
Sensitive or so he said
But he keeps on talking

This time I got my gun up
I got new regulations
And nothings getting through
New regulations

Ya
This time I got my gun up
I got new regulations
And nothings getting through
New regulations

This time I got my gun up
I got new regulations
And nothings getting through
New regulations

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.
