Flash of Rationality Lyrics

Sometimes I have a flash of rationality
But most times I do just what I'm gone do
It's easy for me to see what I already see
Ain't got time for inconvenient truths
I'm just a man I ain't no machine
I do the math the way it suits me
Don't get me wrong you're making some sense
But I'll think I'll go before I'm convinced
Sometimes I start to think I might be pretty smart
Then I up and meet somebody who really is
I put a lotta books in my cart but I usually don't have the heart
To keep on reading if I think I got the gist
I know just enough about enough stuff
To nod when you bring something up
Talking out of my ass is my M.O
I'm trying to learn to say I don't know
Sometimes I have a flash of rationality
But most times I do just what I'm gone do
It's easy for me to see what I already see
Ain't got time for inconvenient truths

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.
