Is That a Shark or Your Father Lyrics

You were born in an incubator
Your eyes filled with fear and hope
Your name was decided last minute
Then the doctors sent you home
You rode your bike into a wall
Knee pads protected your skin
Somehow the bruises still win
We all want to park where the law wont permit
We all want to dance when it's inappropriate
We all look back and feel regret
We all walk into the storm before we're ready
You'll all be fine as long as you have money and a PHD
When you're dying remember what I said
You can't always fight what's in your head
So dye your hair a different color and rejoice
And go out into the world with air conditioner running through your hair
It's all the same with different road signs
Just don't let them pass you by

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.
