Pick Up The Pieces Lyrics

Whoooooaah
Whoooooaah
Your mother saved you’re medals
She put them in a box in a room
Basket, base, and footballs
Plastic creatures from the county zoo
She thinks about you often
She has no idea you’re rotten
All the colors have run off and you have been exposed
Now let me do the talking
With a hymn and a secret hid beneath a broken heart
Can you start…to pick up the pieces
A hymn and a secret love
Beneath a bleacher
Wham, bam, fold the hand
Pick up the pieces
Whoooooaah
Whoooooaah
Blessed by your genetics
You possess a certain aesthetic charm
But something’s disconnected
And you’re quite capable of causing harm
Your malice is volcanic
Your insecurity titanic
Your mood is always manic and I do suppose
This masquerade’s become a habit
With a hymn and a secret hid beneath a broken heart
Can you start…to pick up the pieces
A hymn and a secret love beneath the bleacher
Wham, bam, fold the hand
Pick up the pieces
Whoooooaah
Whoooooaah
With a hymn and a secret hid beneath a broken heart
Can you start…to pick up the pieces
A hymn and a secret love beneath a bleacher
Wham, bam, fold the hand
Pick up the pieces
Pick up the pieces
Whoooooaah
Whoooooaah
Pick up the pieces
Whoooooaah
Whoooooaah
Pick up the pieces

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.

This version of the song sucks compared to their Sugi Tap version. I liked the Whoooaah Whoooooaah parts but the over-synthesized vocals detract from Max's natural talent. Also the lyrical changes to this song are horrible. "Wham, bam, Son of Sam" to "Wham, bam, fold the hand" aren't even close and Hand does not rhyme with Wham or Bam. "Your mood is always manic and I do suppose, when you hear this song you'll have a tantrum" sounds 10x better than "Your mood is always manic and I do suppose This masquerade’s become a habit". Also I know that this is a small change but taking out "up" after "But something’s disconnected" really causes an abrupt transition to the next line instead of a nice smooth one.
