Telling Them Lyrics

well i love the sound when i smash the glass, if i get caught they're gonna kick my ass. my mommy's worried about the way i drink, my daddy can't deal with the way i think. they wake me up, tell me, "to get to work," i slam the door, say, "shut up you jerk." i can't wait til the show tonite, when i'm with my friends every things alright... [chorus:] they're telling me, but i'm telling them. "i'll do it my way, & i'll always win." "when the sun goes down i'm ready to play, it doesn't matter what anybody says!!!" well i love the sound when i smash the glass, if i get caught they're gonna kick my ass. my girls stands very close to me, that's just where i want her to be. they say it costs $6 to get in this shack, i'll go around & sneak in the back. i hope the police don't show up here, then we'll have to hide out of fear... [repeat chorus]

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.
