Man Made Lyrics

Life! Death! Prizes! For free!
Won't you tell me who I should be?
I want to see your blueprints and plans
I want to follow your command into the blue

Life! Death! Prizes! And games!
And the body battles and blame
Overweight or wasting away
I will follow your parade into the news

I want to show you how much I've left to lose
I want to show you how much I've got to prove

Say, did the screen just go black
For the tiniest time and come back?
Through the keyhole I can see
Everything I'll ever want to be

Oh life! Death! Prizes! Today!
Yeah we all want something to say
But is there one size to fit us all?
I will give you my demand if I can choose

I want to show you how much I've left to lose
I want to show you how much I've got to prove

Show me the lines
Lines of your love
Tell me the rules
And I will follow you

I want to show you how much I've left to lose
I want to show you how much I've got to prove

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.
