Who Needs You Lyrics

('merican historical montage plus guitar)

You better toss your bullets
You better hide your guns
You better help the children
And let 'em have some fun

You better count your blessings
Kiss mom and paw
You better burn that flag
'Cuz it ain't against the law

(interlude)

You better pledge allegiance
You're not the only one
Listen up for forefathers
I'm not your son

You better save the country
You better pass the flask
You better join the army
I said "No thank you dear 'ole Uncle Sam"

(interlude)

You better toss your bullets
You better hide your guns
You better help the children
And let 'em have some fun, some fun, some fuunnnn

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.

I'm not sure what the intended meaning of the song is, and even though I absolutely LOVE the sound/vibe of this tune, I don't play it often since it comes across to me as a huge lack of respect for our Veterans and others that selflessly fought for what we have now. So overall, I guess I would say that it symbolizes a newer generation that is self-centered and ungrateful... unless that was sarcastically the intent?
