Bang! Bang! Lyrics

Ooh, let me put it all back
This runaway train is runnin' out of track
No more tricks in the old trick sack
The minutes tick by till the watch face turns black

I wanna go bang
I wanna go bang
I wanna go bang
I wanna go bang

On the phone
But you're not at home
And the trees are blown
By the wind

Please let me say
I had a hard one today
I never could feel okay
Alone

I wanna go bang
I wanna go bang
I wanna go bang
I wanna go bang

I wanna go bang
I wanna go bang
I wanna go bang
I wanna go bang

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.

I think this song is about Liz coming home from having a rough day and people aren't listening to her, and she wonders if things would change if she didn't exist and she's thinking about just taking herself out of it.
