Action Lyrics

So you think you'll take another piece of me
To satisfy your intellectual need
Do you want, do you want...Action?
Gonna bring you down cause you're pushin' me
You gotta recognize my superiority
Liar, liar
You know you believed it
Liar, liar
Cause I'm the main man
And that's why...
Everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I got what everybody needs
Satisfaction guaranteed
Everybody wants a piece of the action
I was suicidal cause she was my idol
Baby baby baby bring it to your knees
Well there was a time I would have walked the line
Don't you bring me down with your insatiable greed
Liar, liar
You know you believe me
Liar, liar
Cause I'm the main man
And that's why...
Everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody needs a main attraction
I got what everybody needs
Satisfaction guaranteed
Everybody wants a piece of the action
Do you want... Action!! Action!!
Everybody wants, everybody needs
Everybody wants, everybody needs
Repeat Bridge and Chorus

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.

Another good song off of "Retroactive". The violin in this song is sweet, nice and fast, the way it should be!

Yes it is originally by Sweet. Def Leppard played an awesome cover of this song when I saw a few weeks ago.
