Earthbound Lyrics

Earthbound government's open sores
Death and killing are in control while
A leader is smiling no thoughts for the people
Hearts tied to the floor
We know we never wanted this
We're taught there's nothing more
And I can't tell you it's not working
For the prizes they promise that offer
No ending to the power abusing
Our trust in this system becomes hatred
So. Come out and listen? No.
We can't live through this frustration
In this world we must say, "no!"
And we're taught nothing more
In the eyes in the heart in the mind freedom starts -
With our youth still in our hands
And an earthquake in our hearts

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.
