Bring It Down Lyrics

I’m seeing clear for the first time
I’ve watched a couple decades pass on by
We are born to breed the grand illusion
Through the oligarchy’s eyes
With all of the war and all of the greed
And all the toxic hate it feeds
And for what?
So a handful of rich white men can succeed

Don’t bring it down on me
Don’t bring it down on me
Don’t bring it down on me
Don’t bring it down

Some are awake, others still sleeping
Through this paradigm of violence, blood, and lies
We decimate the earth for shareholders
While she slowly wilts and dies
They’re pushing the drugs and they monger the fear
The police state is already here
So for now I pledge allegiance
To the hippies, punks, geeks, and queers

Don’t bring it down on me
Don’t bring it down on me
Don’t bring it down on me
Don’t bring it down

Don’t bring it down on me
I’m taking a stand for peace

So don’t bring it down on me
Don’t bring it down on me
Don’t bring it down on me
Don’t bring it down

Don’t bring it down on me
Don’t bring it down on me
Don’t bring it down on me
Don’t bring it down
(repeat 2x)

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.
