Going for Broke Lyrics

Going for broke
There's nothing around here to make me stay
Going for broke
Who'd be a loser and play it safe?
Roll the dice - spin the wheel
I'm gonna take a chance tonight
I'm gonna make a deal
Going for broke
This is the moment to shoot the moon
Going for broke
I haven't got the time to waste on you
Roll the dice - spin the wheel
I'm gonna take a chance tonight
I'm gonna make a deal
Nothing to lose
Making my move
Nobody's gonna use me
Going for broke
There's something here inside me that won't lie down
Going for broke
There's nothing to tie me to this man's town
Going for broke
One of these days you're gonna see my face
Going for broke
One of these days you're gonna know my name

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.
