We Don't Need It Lyrics

Lost on the street because you don't know what to do There's something in your heart that's coming over you SOMETHING IN YOU- SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART! It takes you back to a better time and place The leaders of this world have shortchanged the human race SOMETHING IN YOU- SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!Chorus:
We've spent our lives living in their past Now we're building- building a new future (x2) We've spent our lives living in their past One look at their world and it prompts these words, "WE DON'T NEED IT!"Verse:
The state of The State, it makes you feel sick Back stabbing, dollar driven, status quo shit! SOMETHING IN YOU- SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!Chorus (repeat)I been thinking about the sad state of the world Don't you know it starts with you and that it starts with me?!?! This is the new fucking millennium... We're going to turn the world upside down! It's time to show some true humanity And time to show we truly care... For the world, for each other, for those we've known... Through all our years...

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 a great one, one of my favorite Anti-Flag songs. Follow you heart, every single day! I love the part when it goes "Take a good look at the sad state of the world"....so true.
