Reflection of the Television Lyrics

there's people downstairs
i'm more than a fighter you know

there's people downstairs
it wasn't even yours to share

i know you're old
heavy hand takes hold

television's too loud
he leaves without a sound

and i know you're old
heavy hand takes hold

there's people downstairs
i stole it from a letter
off your tongue it rolled

sheltered from the weather
you could be so bold

you told me it'd get better
and i know you're old

there's people downstairs
i'm more than a fighter you know

heavy hand takes hold
and i know you're old

there's people downstairs
there's people downstairs
there's people downstairs

i'm more than a fighter
i'm more than a fighter you know
there's people downstairs

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.

From the official lyrics booklet:

there's people downstairs i'm more than a fighter you know

there's people downstairs it wasn't even yours to share

i know you're old heavy hand takes hold

television's too loud he leaves without a sound

and i know you're old heavy hand takes hold

there's people downstairs i stole it from a letter off your tongue it rolled

sheltered from the weather you could be so bold

you told me it'd get better and i know you're old

there's people downstairs i'm more than a fighter you know

heavy hand takes hold and i know you're old

there's people downstairs there's people downstairs there's people downstairs

i'm more than a fighter i'm more than a fighter you know there's people downstairs
