Pretty Music for Pretty People Lyrics

Your acceptance speech was so sincere
Now just relax and you will hear
Pretty Music
Pretty Music
Pretty Music
For Pretty People
Pretty Music
Pretty Music
Pretty Music
For Pretty People
You didn't forget to wash your hands
Through your hair you ran your comb
In your speech at the Grammys
You didn't forget to thank your mom
You were concise and stayed on topic
You didn't mention race or unemployment
You avoided the topic of poverty
'Cuz you know music is all about enjoyment

Keep on chokin' on the corporate meat
While the crowd gets up and they move their feet
Don't forget to wave to the people you screwed
To get that perfect out-of-10 review
We can't wait 'till you have that breakdown
And you're sitting in rehab, crying about fame
Because we know the last time we'll hear your music
Is when we're all dancing on your grave to
Pretty Music
For Pretty People

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.
