But We Don't Know Lyrics

I wish I had a hairdryer
To blow you to the moon
I wish I was a bakerman
Curing hunger soon
I wish I had a beaver cap
It looks like Daniel Boone
I keep a wish in my heart

I wish I had a girlfriend
Who would drive me away
I wish I was a president
I'd rule the world all night and day
I wanna' see what's never been seen
I wanna' live in angel's dreams
We're never satisfied

But we don't know what we say

I want to see the holy ghost
But he is anywhere at most
I want to paint a red door black
But painting black makes me feel really bad
Come on lass' we can go together
Let's take the place right now
We're never satisfied

But we don't know what we say

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.

I think this is about having so many wants/aspirations in life but having absolutely no direction or clarity to make any true sense of them.
