Pay to Cum (Bad Brains cover) Lyrics

I make decisions with precision
Lost inside this manned collision
Just to see that what to be is
Perfectly my fantasy
I came to know with now dismay
That in this world we all must pay
Pay to write
Pay to play
Pay to cum
Pay to fight!
And all in time, with just our minds
We soon will find what's left behind
Not long ago when things were slow
We all got by with what we know
The end is near
Hearts filled with fear
Don't want to listen to what they hear
And so it's now we choose to fight
To stick up for out bloody right
The right to sing, the right to dance
The right is ours...we'll take the chance!
A peace together
A piece apart
A piece of wisdom
From our hearts

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.
