Queen of America Lyrics

You were at the automatic door
Letting all the heat out of the store
You hadn't got a clue who you were greeting for

So you ran for Queen of America
You ran for Queen of America

Everyone in leather uniforms
So we can tell the cool from merely warm
And keep you all identical from the day that you were born

'Til you ran for Queen of America
You ran for Queen of America

We let the Nazis off the hook
Because of Marx's famous book
You told me you were Gay and Proud
And disappeared into the crowd

So you ran for Queen of America
You ran for Queen of America
A man for Queen of America
You ran for Queen of America

"God save our noble Queen
Sweet man of liberty
Of thee I sing."

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.
