Dance War Lyrics

Mister, you're an actor
Practicing your lines by yourself
Don't need no benefactor
I just want to be myself

I'm going fighting in the dance war
I'm going fighting in the dance war

Though I'm headed nowhere slamming in this pit
My brain was going to melt listening to your shit

I'm going fighting in the dance war
I'm going fighting in the dance war

The war will never end
And I don't have a care in the world
See the bodies fly
Take the double dare in my world

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 Frank's way of saying that he doesn't like the whole mosh pit scene.
