Pharmaceutical Lyrics

head is pounding
must keep on driving
smell of diesel, earn a living
ulcerated, medicated
pharmaceutical
daily shopping
pushing paper
school for children, busy work training
plate of meat, then switch on the TV
pharmaceutical
vacant landscape
word of crackdown
leave the root and clip the branches
numb is good, numb is no problem
pharmaceutical

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.

this song is terrifying, a great marriage of form and content. it's a pretty dismally one-sided view of modern culture, sure, but it's not entirely lacking for accuracy, either, even into the twenty-first century. "leave the root and clip the branches" is a great line: that and the opening sample (as well as the line "school for children, busywork training") put you in mind of "david after the dentist," the viral video of a child reeling in the backseat of his father's car after his first anesthetic experience at the dentist's office.
