Let It All Be Lyrics

When did it begin
will it ever end
the way you take the muscle from the sound
You got me swingin

You lay it on
and I ain't one of your friends
losing all the green
now you say it

Now why would that be me
and why would I agree
to keep it in my head

And what you think is cold
the nature of my soul
sorry man
I ain't gonna be told

Let It All Be

I wonder why?
You put this on me?
I speak my mind
It's sort of funny

I'm violent with the hands in my head
they kinda of move
but moving gets me nowhere

Now you cannot decide
You can tell your lies
Who will you can call you friends

And what you think is cold
the nature of my soul
sorry man
I ain't gonna be told

Let It All Be

part 2 of the song:
Ten million years (True as Indians), heart in hand
Looking for the blood of the white man
Looking for the day when I can be and Indian
After all this time I get my revenge
But I, I ain't no indian
I'll have to kill with what I can
To fight, to the death (10x)
(Dream of the far, Dream of the dead 10x)

A History of Bad Men

When did it begin
will it ever end
the way you take the muscle from the sound
You got me swingin

You lay it on
and I ain't one of your friends
losing all the green
now you say it

Now why would that be me
and why would I agree
to keep it in my head

And what you think is cold
the nature of my soul
sorry man
I ain't gonna be told

Let It All Be

I wonder why?
You put this on me?
I speak my mind
It's sort of funny

I'm violent with the hands in my head
they kinda of move
but moving gets me nowhere

Now you cannot decide
You can tell your lies
Who will you can call you friends

And what you think is cold
the nature of my soul
sorry man
I ain't gonna be told

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.

I think this song could be directed toward several different groups, but most likely record companies. King Buzzo isn't going to be told how to write music or how to make it sound, even if that type of music isn't popular anymore.

This song is pretty sexy. Yeah, it seems to be about resisting conformity in general.
