Q&A

Are You Ready? Lyrics

Are you part of the future, part of the plan?
Are you willing & able to do what you can?
Are you part of the problem or part of the band?
Are you willing to draw a line in the sand?

Are you true to your friends, loyal to your brand?
Are you smoking for China, Iraq, or Japan?
Are you searching for something you don't understand?
Do you still hold ambitions of being a man?

Are you ready to live?
Are you ready to die?
Are you ready to live?
Are you ready to die?

Are you sickening for something, feeling unwell?
Are you drawn to corruption, in love with its smell?
Are you keeping a secret, got something to tell?
Are you fighting for reason under its spell?

Are you dreaming of heaven, living in hell?
Are you preaching for Jesus, for Apple or Dell?
Are you doomed to succeed? Are you happy to fail?
Are you facing extinction, the end of the trail?

Are you ready to live?
Are you ready to die?
Are you ready to live?
Are you ready to die?

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.
