Rifle Lyrics

I'm not the one who is pointing the finger you hypocrite we're not true enough to be part but i speak of what i have learned i haven't a flag to be burned born wrong descend upon us you're only honest but are you an artist or just a preacher to those who want to hate everything you told them to see everything you told them to hear we simply ask them to listen and express what we feel born right rifle me playing on their sympathy you're the one waving the flag you're the one starting the war

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.

My favorite part about this song is how it has become a shrine for the amazing talent that is Derrick. Underrated as hell and one of the best drummers in the 90s punk revival. RIP.

It's about a guy pissed off about a relationship, and how he didn't start the war
