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.
This song as a whole is an honest message from the band to anyone who either hates on, or simply doesn't understand or enjoy their music. Instead of sending the hate back around the band essentially clears things up, by saying the music they play is for their enjoyment. If someone else likes what they do, that's great, but they aren't going to be angry if someone doesn't get them, because they're doing this for themselves and themselves alone. The song eventually closes with "My Bets have Been Placed, so don't count me out." At first this line appears confusing, but what it seems to mean is, they've put just as much on the table as anyone else by being a in a Punk Rock band. You may not appreciate their music, but respect their efforts - "don't count them out."
The title in this song pays reference to a scene from Austin Powers in which "Scott Evil" pitches an evil plan that despite making sense, is swiftly shut down. This may be a reference out of pure appreciation of the movie and series, or it may be being used as a metaphor for people quick to judge their band.
