Modest Propsal Lyrics

i don't know them they dont know me life is fucked reality can we maintain this paranoid hope or shall we just go on and cope i hate you hate but we don't know why i fight you fight blood is on the floor i hurt you hurt someone's gonna die please i'd like to make a modest proposal now examine the sorry state will the world just fluctuate or will a hand too carelessly strike and make real our horrors and our fright we push they push and it's judgement day we hide they hide but who can run away we save they save to carry on the race please i must make a modest propsal now listen to me and you should see that no one can survive this limited nuclear war jive we must stop this madness before it stops us please i'm making a passionate plea this is my modest proposal

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.

Do you think this is in any way connected to Jonathan Swift's "Modest Proposal"? No..Something tells me that the members of this band don't read a lot of historical literature...
