Mind the Silverware Lyrics

Mind the silverware
Perfect napkin folding display
Everything has a place

Family gathers round
Each one nailing their role to play
So perfectly fake

But don't speak of any pain
Defend your family's name
Lest there be hell to pay

Sunday morning comes
Congregation files into place
Painted smiles on their face

Bow your head and pray
Perfect recitation display
Keeps your questions at bay

But don't speak of any pain
Defend your family's name
Lest there be hell to pay

Lest there be hell to pay
Lest there be hell to pay

O say, can you see?
We live in the land of the free

But don't speak of any pain
Defend your family's name
Lest there be hell to pay

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.
