Off The Grid Lyrics

I've unplugged my brain
Unjacked my psyche.
I've Stopped being crazy but
one of very few.
I wont Sell my freedom for
Things I never wanted,
Won't be a slave, with any luck
Those days are through!

I've packed my bags
Bought back my pride.
I'd rather live in rags
Than throw my dreams aside!
I've packed my bags
Bought back my pride
I'd rather live in rags.

Hey hey hey hey
Doot doo doo doo doo doo

I was told that it's
Safest to bury your
Dreams with commitments that
Never was your muse.
But how safe is it
To make a man with
Dreams beyond what
He's allowed to choose?

I've packed my bags
And bought back my pride.
I'd rather live in rags
Than throw my dreams aside!
I've packed my bags
Bought back my pride
I'd rather live in rags...

Hey hey hey hey
Doot doo doo doo doo doo

Some nobody sits in a
Beige carpet box, doing
Nothing to buy something
He will never use, well I would
Be someone,
Instead of buy something...

Hey hey hey hey
Doot doo doo doo doo doo

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.
