Sermon on Competition, Part 1 Lyrics

You think you know it all
You work hard enough but your job seems dull
I could've been you, but I prefer not to
Choose your targets you say
My eye's on the bull's eye
Right on the mark
I'm staring at you, but I prefer not to
So we work the graveyard shift
We're underpaid but not unprepared
I could've been you, but I prefer not to
I think I know it all
I work hard enough but my life seems dull
Jealousy breeds contempt
Who me? C'mon

I'm a lot like you
I'm a dime-a-dance girl
So this is how we measure success

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.
