Sk8 Rock Lyrics

Don't try to understand it
The most destructive high
Shoots my nerves into the sky
Everybody's lookin' for something
I know just what I need
I'm addicted to the speed
Rent-A-Cops try to stop me - I wanna see you try
I just want to skate or die
Faster than lightning and out of sight
Like a demon in the night
I grab my skate and catch some air
I'm grinding my life away but I don't care
'Cause skating for me is more than a feeling
Run for cover - I hear somebody squealing
Stupid Rent-A-Pig, you try to make me stop
You better back off or I'll knock you off your block
I'm a prisoner of life
A slave to the grind
I slide into the future and leave my worries behind

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.

You gguuuyyyzzzzz, don't you understand Cops are there to serve and protect the citizens of this lovely, pig headed, facist world of ours? Police brutality is just their way of saying, "I love u!" Well I love you too, piggies. ;)
