Illisit Lyrics

a police state invents you
'give me your name'
your birth reconnects you
to a number and age
to see through the mountain
master and serf
a failed state connects us
this is a criminal age...(criminal age)
the threat is aside us
blow-back re-blame
so we are the suspect
again and again
the terrorist is suspect
a terrorist is blamed
we're the receivers
living in a game
this is a criminal age...(criminal age)
(feeling all the blame, we are the receivers)
the terrorist is suspect
we're the receivers
this is a criminal age...(criminal age)
THIS IS A CRIMINAL AGE...

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.
