A Great Design Lyrics

Why don't you shame the world
Shame them with your words and I'll smile
Why don't you shame the world
Shame them with words and I'll finally make believe

I'll atone for the saddest verse
Dry beneath my feet
And they tell me I don't have a long time to change your mind

All the grown men are set in their ways
Shining in the street
And they tell me we don't have a long time, a great design

Shame the world
Shame it with your words and I'll smile
We always have the tender words to my mind

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.

Monochrome, it's a Saturn world Lying beneath the rings And they tell me we don't have a long time 'til our decline All the grown men are set in their ways Shining in the street And they tell me we don't have a long time, a great design Why don't you shame the world Shame it with your words and I'll smile Why don't you shame the world Shame it with words and I'll finally make believe I'll atone for the saddle verse Dry beneath my feet And they tell me I don't have a long time to change your mind All the grown men are set in their ways Shining in the street And they tell me we don't have a long time, a great design Shame the world Shame it with your words and I'll smile We always have the tender words to my mind Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: STEWART CHRISTOPHER JOSEPH A Great Design lyrics © DREAMCORP
