High Quality Knickerbockers Lyrics

I try to combat these terrors when little hands are forced to weave and sew. So I try and I buy, I try and I buy, I try and I buy these secondhand clothes.

I know progress is slow, when little hands from foreign lands
Are forced to go weave and sew, so I try and I buy
When I can, secondhand, when I can, secondhand
So I try and I buy, when I can, secondhand.

Rips and tears against and Empire of Threads, built on hungry desperate ones in forgein lands. So I try and I buy, I try and I buy, I try and I buy these secondhand clothes.

I know progress is slow, when little hands from foreign lands
Are forced to go weave and sew, so I try and I buy
When I can, secondhand, when I can, secondhand
So I try and I buy, when I can, secondhand

Excess. I don't need more. Make it hurt. Make it hurt.

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.
