This Place Lyrics

[chorus]
This place is a tale of terror
This place is a ghost town now
This place has lost it's people
This place has lost it's charm

The coals on the fire ain't burning no more in the lake shore foundries
The workers misled by corporations that know no boundaries

(chorus)

The land of liberty has been betrayed by the monster corporations
The monster won't stop till it lays waste to everything

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.

Here are the correct lyrics straight from the lyrics booklet:

This place is a tale of terror This place is a ghost town now This place has lost it's people This place has lost it's charm

The coals on the fire ain't burning no more in the lake shore foundries The workers misled by corporations that know no boundries

The land of liberty has been betrayed by the monster corporations The monster won't stop till it lays waste to everything
