In the Eyes of the Lord Lyrics

Better to be dumb than be done
In the eyes of the Lord
Better to be dumb than be done
In the eyes of the Lord

Stupid things you do for no reason
Make it hard, make it hard
Well you lost your mind somehow
But you're back, you're back again

Better to be dumb than be done
In the eyes of the Lord
Better to be dumb than be done
In the eyes of the Lord

Friends of mine died through their eyes
Well they don't see, they don't see
The misery they spread around the room
They are done, they are done

It's better to be dumb than be done
In the eyes of the Lord
Better to be dumb than be done
In the eyes of the Lord

I smoked my cigarettes and cried
And I cried through the night
The foolish way I walk upon my hands
I'll never make it, I'll never reach the other side

Better to be dumb than be done
In the eyes of the Lord

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.
