You Know My Name Lyrics

Hey, you know my name
I’ll bring the truth
I’ll never change
Hey, I am the one
The one you blame
I’ll bring the shame
And reputation precedes us all
I was never here

I don’t believe in you
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe

And all this world is burning up
It’s time that you retire
Get ready for your last close up
And all of you are fired

Hey, you know my name
I am the one who brings the shame
And hey, you want the truth?
I’m never wrong
Not about you

I don’t believe in you
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe

I don’t believe in you
I don’t believe in you
I don’t believe

And all this world is burning down
And all this world’s a stage
And all of you, you look like clowns
And all this world’s a cage

Hey, you know my name
You always have
I tell the truth
And hey, I’m never wrong
I’m never wrong
Not about you

And I woke up, smelled the burning
And I woke up, they were winning
Won the battle
Lost the war
That’s not what we came here for

Turn me up, my name is never
No, my name, my name is never
Never surrender
Never tell her
Won the war
Now go to hell

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.
