I Want More Lyrics

Don't wanna pump nobody's gas I want more
Don't wanna kiss my bosses ass I want more
Don't wanna take the first job I find I want more
Don't wanna dig coal out of a mine I want more
Slaving in a factory a different kind of insanity
Feels like I'm locked in a cage
Working like a maniac, gave myself a heart attack
For a job that pays minimum wage
Don't wanna work at the golden arches I want more
Don't wanna wash rich mans cars I want more
Don't wanna be nobody's gardener I want more
Don't wanna be a garbage man I want more

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.

Fuckin' a Mike! What a great song for the youth of today. Mike raises a few good points, so the moral of this song IMO is head down and study, study, study so that all your dreams hopefully become a reality. Nice song, This band deserves major props.
