Cold War Lyrics

I -I owe-owe you
absolutely nothing
I-I know-know you
positively disagree
I've heard it said that all is fair
in love and war so what's life for
you watch it go out the window
stop and go back for more
more!

go-go fight-fight punch
your way to happiness
go-go light-light or
you'll never be a big success

I heard it said that all is fair
in love and war so what's life for
the boy and girl
two separate worlds
the endless tug of war
uh!

go-go fight-fight punch
your way to happiness
go-go light-light or
you'll never be a big success

I've heard it said that all is fair
in love and war so what's life for

I heard it said that all is fair
in love and war so what's life for
the boy and girl
two separate worlds
the endless tug of war

I -I owe-owe you
absolutely nothing

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.

Wow....these lyrics are so fucking jumbled it's pathetic.

This is a good song, the way Mark (or Jerry, whoever) sings it is what makes it so clever.
