Keep It in the Family Lyrics

Dark secrets that lie behind closed doors
Everyone of us has something to hide
Family ties blood thicker than water family wars
When push comes to shove and rape comes as love whose side are you on?
Just shut your mouth and we'll keep it in the family

And do you lie awake in your bed at night
Just praying for the morning sun?
Too scared to breathe too scared to dream with a hand on your mouth so you can't scream
Just waiting for the sun to rise
In the cold light of day there's nothing to say
Just shut your mouth and we'll keep it in the family.

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.
