Sometimes We Bleed Lyrics

You get it, that's right, you get it, yeah
You get it, that's right, you get it, yeah
You get it, that's right, you get it, yeah
You get it, that's right, you get it, yeah
You get it, that's right, you get it, yeah
You get it, that's right, you get it, yeah
Made a decision, gonna scream out loud
Common sense and survival
But you don't get the meanin'
A lie, sacrifice the truth for a good life
Replace your guilt with gold and deny,
While people starve
You get it, that's right, you get it, yeah
You get it, that's right, you get it, yeah
You get it, that's right, you get it, yeah
You get it, that's right, you get it, yeah
You get it, that's right, you get it, yeah
You get it, that's right, you get it, yeah
Made a decision, gonna scream out loud
Common sense and survival
But you don't get the meanin'
A lie, sacrifice the truth for a good life
Replace your guilt with gold and deny,
While people starve
Well alright, well alright, well alright
Well alright, well alright, it's alright

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 CD booklet:

"America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves... Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power or gold. No such tales are told by the American poor."

*Kurt Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse-five
