Like Caesar Needs A Brutus Lyrics

Like Caesar needs a Brutus
Like you and I
Like a Jesus needs a Judas
Like you and I
Like a Christian needs a heathen
Like you and I

And I want you
Yeah, but I don't want you
And I need you
Yeah, but I don't need you
And I love you
Yeah, but I don't love you
And I think
Yeah, I think I'm gone

Like Caesar needs a Brutus
Like you and I
Like a sailor needs a siren
Like you and I
Like Joan needs a vision
Like you and I

And I want you
Yeah, but I don't want you
And I need you
Yeah, but I don't need you
And I love you
Yeah, but I don't love you
And I think
Yeah, I think I'm gone

Like Caesar needs a Brutus
Like you and I
Like a martyr needs his downfall
Like you and I
Like Job needs Jehovah
Like you and I

And I want you
Yeah, but I don't want you
And I need you
Yeah, but I don't need you
And I love you
Yeah, but I don't like you
And I think
Yeah, I think I'm gone

And I want you
Yeah, but I don't want you
And I think
Yeah, I think I'm gone

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.
