Commentators Lyrics

I don’t wanna be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstay my welcome
I will take my things and leave
‘Cause I’m not trying to be revolutionary

What gave you the impression
That your opinion means anything to anyone?
What gave you the right
To bear arms against me… against us

You’re nothing but a bunch of amateur
Commentators
Who live your lives
Hiding behind a wall of insecurities

I don’t wanna be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstayed my welcome
I will take my things and leave
‘Cause I’m not trying to be revolutionary

Imagine it’s already broken
As you hold it in your hand
Think of all the work you’re doing
There’s work that you can only understand

Suppose it’s already faded
As it drapes across your back
Believe in all you have that's wonderful
Instead of everything that you lack

[Repeat x2]
I don’t wanna be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstayed my welcome
I will take my things and leave
‘Cause I’m not trying to be revolutionary

Hello, I'm In Delaware

I don’t wanna be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstay my welcome
I will take my things and leave
‘Cause I’m not trying to be revolutionary

What gave you the impression
That your opinion means anything to anyone?
What gave you the right
To bear arms against me… against us

You’re nothing but a bunch of amateur
Commentators
Who live your lives
Hiding behind a wall of insecurities

I don’t wanna be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstayed my welcome
I will take my things and leave
‘Cause I’m not trying to be revolutionary

Imagine it’s already broken
As you hold it in your hand
Think of all the work you’re doing
There’s work that you can only understand

Suppose it’s already faded
As it drapes across your back
Believe in all you have that's wonderful
Instead of everything that you lack

[Repeat x2]
I don’t wanna be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstayed my welcome
I will take my things and leave
‘Cause I’m not trying to be revolutionary

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.
