Rock 'n' Roll Genius Lyrics

Are you listening?
I'm a rock 'n' roll genius (genius)
Stop laughing
Oh my God, I'm being serious (serious)

I've burnt so many bridges
I've broken all my bones
My best friend's hate and failure
They're always in my home

I've burnt so many bridges
I've broken all my bones
My best friend's hate and failure
They're always in my home

There is no secret to the universe
Best leave all that stuff to the scientists
To get wrong
To get right

Are you listening?
I'm a rock 'n' roll genius (genius)
It's no different to religion or politics (or politics)

I've burnt so many bridges
I've broken all my bones
My best friend's hate and failure
They're always in my home

I've burnt so many bridges
I've broken all my bones
My best friend's hate and failure
They're always in my home

There is no secret to the universe
Best leave all that stuff to the scientists
To get wrong
To get right

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.
