Straight To Jail Lyrics

You better wash your hair
but today all my plans are staying in bed
no matter what they say
I'm all wrong
told you this had happened before

You better stay the same
but today all I am is just starting to change
no matter what they say
I'm always wrong
told you this had happened before

If you want to get there
then move on
no one's gonna wait for you
so you better not stay long
no one's gonna wait for you
this is war!

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.

For me it's about the moments of feeling low that someone can suffer more or less frequently and that require an unavoidable stage of calm ("Today all my plans are staying in bed") but followed by a reinforced departure that must be carried out quickly so as not to get caught up in sadness ("If you want to get better, then move on!"). And it must be a genuinely personal process ("No one's gonna wait for you), especially in such a competitive society (this is war).
