Countrymen Lyrics

where have my countrymen gone?
all your patriots are just millionaires
and look what they've done
they just puncture you and destroy the heir

all your countrymen gone
they just picked up and left when the west was won
and where are they now?
well, a secret assassin has taken some

one good thing about the feeling
operate and keep me stale
will my warm heart ever fail?
will my warm heart ever fail?

i am bore from two sides
with an eagerness of the newly free
are you dead or alive
when your country's mottos don't tread on me

one good thing about the feeling
operate and keep me stale
will my warm heart ever fail?
will my warm heart ever fail?
will it fail? will it fail?

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.
