Automatic Lyrics

spoke to my god today asked him why he'd gone away
hitched on a rocket ride into the sun
he said "son I've got one for ya down there in california
just take a look around at all you've done"
"you're automatic like a burnin' gun
you're a star like everyone"
talked to my soul today but I couldn't keep my brain away
so I found a holiday behind the sun
took all the friends I could spun out in hollywood
hit up on a climate everyone
you're automatic like a burnin' gun
you're a star like everyone
and you could save the world
could be shinin' on my pearl
you could save the world
just might find your way my pearl
she said "I'm automatic baby systematic speed
through the universe my engines bleed
I'm automatic momma with automatic pace
save me momma as I fall from grace"
shine

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.
