State Of Conformity Lyrics

Comfortable lives in a capitalist democracy feeling safe and secure until they take it away consumed by greed pacified in apathy were disinformed to fit the norm that corporations and media created stimulated but constantly unsatisfied we are manipulated to value commodities higher than justice higher than equality higher than justice our standard of life is measured by what we own subdued kept happy and blind unconsiously confined kept on your knees no one bites the hand that feeds in a state of conformity where we value commodities higher than justice

What Ever

Don't Fade Away

... And The Cheese Fell Down

Don't Skate On My Ramp

Another Stale Cartoon

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.

Obvious meaning, awesome song. The intro is kinda just there though... I don't really see how it fits with the song, but it sets the "mood" for this song. Maybe I just need a few more listens.

It's basically saying that we value our lives with what we own and what we've accomplished, instead of by how we treat each other. We're unconsiously confined to our own lives and we don't really care about our neighbors. Bribery may also be hinted in this song.

If you relate to this song look for the zeitgeist movement.
