What's Wrong With the Way I Live Lyrics

What's wrong with the way I live
The way I use my time
People should live their lives
Leaving me to mine, leaving me to mine
I'm a man who is defending
All his rights to live in peace
And my job is never ending for me
Ever since I was a young man
People tried to get at me
Tried to bring me down and hurt me
And I'm losing, losing
What's wrong with the way I live
The way I use my time
People should live their lives
Leaving me to mine, leaving me to mine

They persist in rearranging
All my days to suit them best
But the future will be changing for me
I'm a man who is defending
All his rights to live in peace
And my job is never ending
But they're losing, losing
What's wrong with the way I live
The way I use my time
People should live their lives
Leaving me to mine, leaving me to mine
And they're losing

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.
