They Don't Want Your Corn - They Want Your Kids Lyrics

It's nothing new but it's something I get used to
Mama I'm selling my blood (Welcome to hard times)
Daddy I can hear you breathing (I'll take care of you)
Mama I'm selling my blood (Welcome to hard times)
Daddy I can hear you breathing (I'll take care of you)
I'll take care of you
I'll take care of you
They're taking our children away
I'll take care of you
They're taking our children away
I'll take care of you

And why, I love
The end, you knew
Before, my love
Is deep, come through

Fathers, brothers
Uncles, cousins

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.

most of the lyrics of this song are quotes taken from the movie "The Sweet Hereafter", which is about a schoolbus accident in a small Canadian town.
