Share The Red Lyrics

Getting on the floor
Everything and more
A fabulous start
There's no reason to get arrested or doomed
40 with a kid
Living on the grid
My resume speaks Germanic wheels
You want it
You got it
The lockjaw with animus on it
Have you no ears?
Have you no eyes?
You've got no idea of how to survive
Have you know tears?
Have you no heart?
You've got no idea what sets you apart
And still you're winning
Do not save the date
It disintegrates
The rocks in my grain
The fabulous day just beginning to shine
I can see the truth
Is wasted on the youth
The parental magic is fading away for now
I'll be watching all the time
I'll be watching all the time
I'll be watching all the time
Have you no ears?
Have you no eyes?
You've got no idea of how to survive
Have you know tears?
Have you no heart?
You've got no idea what sets you apart
You've got no idea what sets you a
You've got no idea what sets you
You have no idea what sets you apart
And still you're winning

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.

One of the best songs on a great album. Unusually straightforward for a Malkmus lyric. If you have a kid you get it.
