That's A Damn Fine Cliche Lyrics

Your disposition
Your constant recognition
If you could you would take almost anything
Overexposed
Self opposed
Worried your life that it all will reveal nothing at all
How low how low will you go
How low how low
So instead create false confidence
Take back control, take back what you know
To mask your own disappointment
Then move on

With repetition
Comes lack of inspiration
Sheltered existence is a challenge in itself
Truth be know, let it be shown
You wouldnï¿½t bring your own self down
Low how low how low will you go
How low how low
Cause if you strip down to your ankles youï¿½ll find
Cause if you strip down to your ankles youï¿½ll find
That thereï¿½s always the next quip thereï¿½s an angle to your lips and thereï¿½s nothing left inside
And you made it plain to see
She sings so desperately
Always with one eye on the prize

We donï¿½t mind we donï¿½t mind we donï¿½t mind we donï¿½t mind we donï¿½t mind we donï¿½t mind we donï¿½t mind

Cause if you strip down to your ankles youï¿½ll find
That thereï¿½s always the next quip thereï¿½s an angle to your lips and thereï¿½s nothing left inside
You realize the face you put on was just a distant memory of the person you planned to be

Your disposition
Your constant recognition
If you could you would take all those things
Overexposed
Self opposed
Worried your life that it all will reveal nothing at all
How low how low
Low how low how low

Cause if you strip down to your ankles youï¿½ll find
Cause if you strip down to your ankles youï¿½ll find
That thereï¿½s always the next quip thereï¿½s an angle to your ribs and thereï¿½s nothing left inside
And you made it plain to see
She sings so desperately
Always with one eye on the prize

We donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind
We donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind
We donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind
We donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind, we donï¿½t mind

With repetition 
Comes lack of inspiration 
Sheltered existence is a challenge in itself
Truth be know, let it be shown
You wouldnï¿½t bring your own self down
Low how low how low will you go
How low how low
Cause if you strip down to your ankles youï¿½ll find 
Cause if you strip down to your ankles youï¿½ll find
That thereï¿½s always the next quip thereï¿½s an angle to your lips and thereï¿½s nothing left inside
And you made it plain to see
She sings so desperately 
Always with one eye on the prize

We donï¿½t mind we donï¿½t mind we donï¿½t mind we donï¿½t mind we donï¿½t mind we donï¿½t mind we donï¿½t mind

Cause if you strip down to your ankles youï¿½ll find 
Cause if you strip down to your ankles youï¿½ll find
That thereï¿½s always the next quip thereï¿½s an angle to your ribs and thereï¿½s nothing left inside
And you made it plain to see
She sings so desperately 
Always with one eye on the prize

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.

"If you could you would take almost anything"

"Sheltered existence is a challenge in itself"

Definitely my favourite song on the album. And thanks for clearing up the one spot I had no idea about :P

I knew those parts weren't quite right! And I agree with you there :D, the spoken word part is an awesome contrast to the rest of the song, and a standout on the album

by jwomack01 16y ago

And live that part is AMAZING!! Hahaha

by lakota 16y ago

Every part is amazing live ;-) This was one of the standout songs from the album for me.
