Sacred Cow Lyrics

Well don't ask me why but there's just no sun up in the sky
and it's all the same just unchanging vacuous and grey
well don't ask me how but you love to slaughter sacred cows
like a butcher boy you cut muscle
gristle like a toy
Why am I so stupid? why is this so scary?
why are you still laughing?
why aren't I daring? hopefully watching, hopelessly staring into the vacant
I look around and see that you love to give me third degree burns upon my heart
doesn't that make you want to sell me off for parts
why do I stay here? why is that so scary?
why are you still laughing? why do anything?
I'm just here frozen, gnashing and tearing, grinding my molars

I'll just shut my mouth before you sew it shut with words of doubt
because there's just no point go home and roll another joint
Why am I so stupid? why is this so scary?
why are you still laughing?
why aren't I daring?
the boat is sinking the waves are a pitching
so why are you still bitching?
why am I still bitching?

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.
