False Patriot Lyrics

YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE IN PEACE AND FREEDOM
BUT YOU'LL NEVER BE FREE WITHOUT A FIGHT
YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE IN THE GOVERNMENT
WHEN ALL THEY DO IS TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHTS
YOU'VE GOTTA FIGHT FOR YOU BELIEFS
WE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER TO WIN THIS WAR
YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM
BUT WHO IS TO SAY WHAT IS JUST OR FAIR?
YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE IN THE CONSTITUTION
WHEN EQUAL RIGHTS DON'T APPLY EVERYWHERE
AND I DON'T WANT TO HEAR, I'M FUCKING LUCKY I LIVE HERE
CAUSE HALF YOU PEOPLE DON'T GIVE A SHIT, ABOUT WHAT'S RIGHT OR WRONG
SO WHY SHOULD WE CARE, IF YOU DON'T THINK WE BELONG?
YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE IN PEACE AND FREEDOM
BUT YOU'LL NEVER BE FREE WITHOUT A FIGHT
YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE IN THE GOVERNMENT
WHEN ALL THEY DO IS TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHTS
YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
BUT WHO IS TO SAY WHAT IS JUST AND FAIR?
YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE THIS COUNTRY PROTECTS YOU
BUT THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY THEY DON'T FUCKN' CARE

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.
