Forge Your Own Chains Lyrics

Can't dig what you're doing
I won't know you
pretty soon
got to try to improve your brain
to see it clear you forge your own chains
forge your own chains
maybe one more cigarette, clear your head
today your living, tomorrow you're dead
consequences aren't always the same
a link I think you forge your own chains
forge your own chains
you're thinking the hard stuff ain't so bad
stick with it and beieve me
you'll wind up sad
stop it now don't do it again
you see it's clear
you forge your own chains
forge your own chains
drown your sorrows
in a drink
don't hurt anyone
that's what you think
your reason and your mind are getting mighty lame
I know you know
you forge your own chains
forge your own chains

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.
