The Kids Are Right Lyrics

Check him in
Check her out
Check that chick is passin' out
I'm checkin' out
Before I piss my money down the drain

I sacrifice to get salvation
Built it up on aggravation

That's why the kids are right from doin' wrong
Everyone I've seen was better than me
Well it gets alright from doin' wrong
Everyone I've seen was better than me

Make her up
Make him win
Makin' me commit and a sin
I.D.I.T.
I think I will go insane

A 1000 years of salutation
And all we built was a Disney nation

You know
You know that I'm just a dead boy

Can't keep 'em in isolation

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.
