Underachievers Lyrics

It's the conformist
Takin' the firm fist
Of the idealist
Taken the shitlist
And now the purist
Stays the purist
Till the shit hits
The fan of the culprits
I got a lawyer
Who will destroy a
..?.. motivation
To become the purist
Any terrorist
Are really fed up with
Nothing strategic
To besiege with
And supremacists
Touch the surface
With their racist
Hatred that glues eyelids
And those with politics
All polite with tricks
Cripple the masses on the road to riches
Underachievers
Underachievers
Underachievers
Can't hide it
Underachievers
Why fight it
Underachievers
Can't hide it
Why fight it
Can't hide it

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.
