8 Beers and a Book on Zen Lyrics

Well it gives me the runaround
And I don't want to fight
I got the sense to turn around
You ain't wrapped too tight

I might need a tourniquet
To keep the wounds in check
I might need an extra set of eyes
To keep you in check

I drink the backwash
From the sewer now and then
I ain't got time to help us both
Help yourself

I ain't got the time
Now the ship has run aground
And there's no help in sight
I got the sense to turn around

I can't win this fight
I might need a tourniquet
To keep the wounds in check
I might need an extra set of eyes

To keep you in check
I drink the backwash
From the sewer now and then
I ain't got time to help us both

Help yourself
I ain't got the time

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.
