Ode to the North American Snake Oil Distributor Lyrics

Wrong or right don't exist in the light
This world can't exist in only black or white
How can judge what you can't understand?
Presented with truth, rejected out of hand

I try to raise my mind to stop the recoil
There will come a day though
Smash your fucking halo
I won't be the one to say wrong or right for you
Lead you to the riverside
Make you drink until it's dry

Threatened by lives outside of your hands
Demanding respect but refuse to give a chance
Grasping at straws trying to bolster your faith
The doubts that you have are so plain on your face

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.
