Accelerator Lyrics

You son-of-a-bitch: you'v got no friends,
you'v got no steady job, you'v got no girlfriend
You say I'm cheap.. you're just like me
The answer to the question put to you by me

I'm the driver: I'm in control

I've got no motivation, I don't need friends
All my destinations are leased for my own ends
I only answer to my own mind
This speed is what I need to help me kill some time

I'm the driver: I'm in control

Need to drive, I feel good...
Need to drive, I'm alive...
Accelerate X 4
Need to drive, feel so alive...
Need to drive, keep you alive...

I'm the driver: I've lost control

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.

About a speed freak (not amphetamines, I mean speed in the traditional sense; if you want that, check out Teethgrinder). Pretty much every song on Nurse seems to be about insanity or dementia in some way, shape or form.
