Pointing Fingers Lyrics

Hey boy, what you doing?
It isn't right
Hey boy, is there any reason to pick a fight?

Your street's filled with glass houses
You're throwing stones
Hey boy, are you throwing stones at the other side?

Pointing fingers
Trying to shift the blame
Sympathy for the other side
We're all to blame
Our splinters are all the same
Sympathy for the other side

Hey girl, can't you see what you're doing is wrong?
Hey girl, don't you think it's time we got along?

Yes, their eyes are filled with splinters, but so are yours
Hey girl, are you pointing fingers at the other side?

Boy eat girl...
Boy eat world...
Boy eat boy...

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.
