Sonic Reducer Lyrics

I don't need anyone don't need no mom and dad
Don't need no good advice don't need no human rights
I got some news for you don't even need you too
I got my time machine got my 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer ain't no loser
Got a sonic reducer sonic reducer
People out on the streets they don't know who I am
I watch them from my room they are just passing by
I'm not just anyone said I'm not just anyone
I got my time machine my little 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer ain't no loser oh
Sonic reducer sonic reducer ahhh
Nothing left here there's not really nothing left here
I'll be your bearer soon love on some cotton doom
Things will be different then the sun will rise from here
Then I'll be ten feet tall then you'll be nothing at all
I got my time machine got my 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer ain't no loser oh
Sonic reducer sonic reducer oh
Sonic reducer sonic reducer yeah
Sonic reducer sonic reducer sonic reducer oh
Sonic reducer sonic reducer (x3)

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.

This song is pure cool. The orginal was pretty good, but Eddie Vedder's voice pushes so much further.

The version of this song with Joey Ramone is awful. The Ramones are cool, but man, Joey sounds so bad in that song it's disgusting.

IndependentlyHappy, this was originally by The Dead Boys, not the Ramones. The two sound NOTHING alike, I don't understand how you could get them mixed up, that's just silly.

Not shabby, but Decry's cover was much better.
