Clenched Fists, Black Eyes Lyrics

You say you're scared, we're not to blame
'Cos mindless violence ain't our claim,
A new breed's here, we're gonna stay,
And break down all your shallow ways
(Chorus)
'Cos we are the new kids,
We've got our heads,
We'll keep on fighting,
'Til old ways are dead.
Clenched fists, black eyes! (2x)
We're aiming for a different goal,
Succeeding where the hippies failed.
But one thing's sure and you can bet,
We'll be more than a drugged-out threat!
(Repeat 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.

Usually I don't rip on an individuals personal opinion, but in this case I must. Big Willy you are an idiot. I think you are more than 'kinda dumb' period. How you got you're interpretation of this song so very wrong I have no idea.
