All the Way Lyrics

this is a wake up call to watch
fewer televisison shows
go out and find a job and slip
into gender roles
we'll go out shopping for clothes
we'll shave on tighter schedules
and make our days seem useful
pay out bills on time,

my friends call on the phone
and ask why i sound tired
i say i just got up
but i pull the blankets higher
my friends don't know me at all
my friends don't know much at all
i took a pill for this
and made up my mind

we'll go all the way
we'll go all the wayx2

we don't believe in what your sayin'
we believe in better days

this is a wake up call
for all those loaded questions of yours
with our new circles of square friends
and even all our stores
we'll go out shopping for clothes
we'll shave on tighter schedules
and make our days seem useful
pay out bills on 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.
