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.

Cover art for Military Madness lyrics by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

by WiseOldGuy

3y ago

In an upstairs room in Blackpool By the side of a northern sea The army had my father And my mother was having me

Military Madness was killing my country Solitary Sadness comes over me After the school was over and I moved To the other side

I found a different country but I never Lost my pride Military Madness was killing the country Solitary sadness creeps over me

And after the wars are over And the body count is finally filed I hope that The Man discovers What's driving the people wild

Military madness is killing your country So much sadness, between you and me War, War, War, War, War, War
