American Guilt Lyrics

Take over the camera
No boy, you don't get the video
I painted on eyelids
Meanwhile, Becky
No
No
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh
Oh no here it comes, the American guilt
Oh no here it comes, the American guilt
Oh no here it comes, the American guilt
Oh no here it comes, the American guilt
When the meek can't stand still
Even the Nazi's bribe them
If we find them wobbling
Even the picky know
No
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh
Oh no here it comes, the American guilt
Oh no here it comes, the American guilt
Oh no here it comes, the American guilt
Oh no here it comes, the American guilt
Single brother
Got ripped off
Know why you don't get any gold
I painted on eyelids
Meanwhile, Becky
No
No
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh
Oh no here it comes, the American guilt
Oh no here it comes, the American guilt
Oh no here it comes, the American guilt
Oh no here it comes, the American guilt

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.
