Equalized Lyrics

Friend called today
Said "No more no way"
He saw things different today
Ran out of trust
The world ain't big enough
For a feeling man with a plan
Dreams die today
Do you call this living really!
Too much hassle too much risk
Inside the holes your digging
No more disappointments
Please remain seated
Your number's coming
Do not question these commands
Just walk the dog
Be a bump on a log
Watch tv until you're blind
Everyone's equalized
See the look in their eyes
No more vital signs they're gone
We've got a new dream
We're on the winning team
We're going to sleep our way through hell

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.

I think this song describes the way that society has been heading in America. People being satisified with unfufilled dreams and accepting to be an ignorant zombie to the world. What a statement!!

I think this song's about just giving up trying... very uplifting in its nihilism.
