Reward (The Teardrop Explodes cover) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news
The king sits on his face but it's all assumed
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same

[Chorus]
They can't have it
You can't have it
I can't have it, too
Until I learn to accept my reward

[Verse 2]
Prisoners stand in queues and stand accused
Live in solitude like Howard Hughes
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same

[Chorus 2]
Silence has it
Arrogance has it
I can't have it, ooh
Until I learn to accept my reward

[Verse 3]
Suddenly it struck me very clear
Suddenly it struck me very clean
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same

[Chorus]
They can't have it
You can't have it
I can't have it, too
Until I learn to accept my reward

[Trumpet Break]

[Outro]
Until I learn to accept my reward
Until I learn to accept my reward
Until I learn to accept my
I learn to expect my
I learn to accept my reward

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.
