Without Music the World Dies Lyrics

You don't need to live a formatted life
And you don't need to find yet another wife
Head trips may very well spill your mind
Oh, but without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the whole world dies

You don't need to respect your government
They can't even govern themselves!
You don't need swanky first-cabin highs
But without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the whole world dies

You don't need twenty-four-hour news
And you don't need to send your children to school
And you don't need to be a billionaire, they're everywhere, they're everywhere, they're everywhere
Oh but without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the whole world dies!

You don't need awards, awards, awards
Shiny, oh yes, but never earnt, always bought
On your deathbed you will scream out this final reply
Oh without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the whole world dies

You don't need to live a formatted life
And you don't need to find yet another wife 
Head trips may very well spill your mind 
Oh, but without music the world dies
Without music the world dies 
Without music the world dies
Without music the whole world dies

You don't need to respect your government 
They can't even govern themselves!
You don't need swanky first-cabin highs
But without music the world dies
Without music the world dies 
Without music the world dies
Without music the whole world dies

You don't need twenty-four-hour news
And you don't need to send your children to school
And you don't need to be a billionaire, they're everywhere, they're everywhere, they're everywhere 
Oh but without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the whole world dies!

You don't need awards, awards, awards
Shiny, oh yes, but never earnt, always bought
On your deathbed you will scream out this final reply
Oh without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the world dies
Without music the whole world dies

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.
