The Tyranny Of What Everyone Knows Lyrics

The pooling of blood from your neck to the floor
Makes a beautiful trophy to parade and
even the score
Their words in stone of persuasion in sound
Fall on open ears And sewn shut mouth
taught the answers
Ignored the questions as we vomit choke and die
Truth is truth is lie
As history portrays this time
Truth is truth is blind
Their money pays for the transcripts we sign
Derailed from birth, designed to serve
Everyone knows the solution to the problems
We bought credentials unneeded decide for you
The books are written our choice is proof

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.

History is taught by revisionists. The "truth" we're taught is what is convenient for those teaching us. The "lessons" we're taught ignore the "Whys" that explain why it happened that way.
