Differences Lyrics

a non-inclusive ruling class
try and cover up the facts
they orchestrate their twisted lies
and buy their alibis
I find it strange the same
there's always someone else to blame
we watch the clock go ticking by
and now we wonder why
let's get away
can't take this place
it won't be long before you see me break
divided and conquered we
sit and wait so patiently
never knowing what's in store
try not to ask for more
so many times we're seen
their past mistakes resurfacing
they never seem to have the proof
that qualifies for truth
let's get away
can't take this place
it won't be long before you see me break
let's get away
can't take this place
can't see the beauty through this human waste
the time has yet to come
for the living proof of everyone
to think about our trouble lives
the truth, the answer why
pretend we're all the same
there's nothing left to fade away
except the stupid games we play
and I wanna believe there's nothing wrong with me
I gotta believe there's nothing wrong with me
this wasn't just a dream

a non-inclusive ruling class 
try and cover up the facts 
they orchestrate their twisted lies 
and buy their alibis 
I find it strange the same 
there's always someone else to blame 
we watch the clock go ticking by 
and now we wonder why 
let's get away 
can't take this place 
it won't be long before you see me break 
divided and conquered we 
sit and wait so patiently 
never knowing what's in store 
try not to ask for more 
so many times we're seen 
their past mistakes resurfacing 
they never seem to have the proof 
that qualifies for truth 
let's get away 
can't take this place 
it won't be long before you see me break 
let's get away 
can't take this place 
can't see the beauty through this human waste 
the time has yet to come 
for the living proof of everyone 
to think about our trouble lives 
the truth, the answer why 
pretend we're all the same 
there's nothing left to fade away 
except the stupid games we play 
and I wanna believe there's nothing wrong with me 
I gotta believe there's nothing wrong with me 
this wasn't just a dream

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.
