Grievances Revisited Lyrics

If I had my own way

You'd be with me here today

But I rarely have my own way

I guess that's why you're not here with me today

And the librarian said

You can't buy no respect

I said hey lady what can you expect

When I'm lying on the floor

You're a lovely lady but you don't wanna be

No girl of mine

Well the only thing you ever done for me

Was help me, help me, waste my time

And I saw you at the funeral

You were standing there like a temple

I said hi, how are you, hello

And I pulled up a casket and crawled in

And I pulled up a casket and crawled in

And I pulled up a casket and crawled in

And I pulled up a casket and crawled in...

And I pulled up a casket and crawled in...

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.
