Look Ma, No Brains! Lyrics

Don’t know much about history

Because I never learned how to read
Drop out I’m a knucklehead
Sick boy and I shit the bed

Maybe I’m in love with a deviant
Maybe I got terminal vertigo

Slam danced on my face again
Nonsense is my heroin
Rude boy going comatose
Drop out and I’m adios

Maybe I’m in love with a deviant
Maybe I got terminal vertigo
I defy the science of the missing link
Oh God, I think I’m gonna lose my skull

I said look ma, I ain’t got no brains
I’m a goner and I don’t feel no pain
I’m with stupid and I’m all by myself
’Cause I’m special and I don’t need your help

I’m gone gone gone and I’m far away
I lost my head and I’m here to say
Oh mama, mama mama ma
I’m all grown up
It’s too late now for my suicide

I said look ma, I ain’t got no brains
I’m a goner and I don’t feel no pain
I’m with stupid and I’m all by myself
’Cause I’m special and I don’t need your help

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.
