Taker Lyrics

I'm the king of avoidance
If you confront me I'll say I don't want to talk about it

It's the law of the jungle
I take and I take and I take

I only care about myself
I take with no obligation to the one I took from

I'll destroy you
I'll destroy you
I'll destroy you
I'll destroy you

As long as I get done what I need to take care of my needs
I don't care about yours
I'll eat you alive
It's up to you to push me out
I'll just keep taking

Eat or be eaten
It's the law of the jungle
Eat or be eaten
Eat or be eaten (Animal, animal, animal, animal)
Eat or be eaten (Animal, animal, animal, animal)
Eat you alive

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.
