Will I Be Ignored By The Lord? Lyrics

when I was born, lot's of people sayin' I looked like a dead man
but to them there was no kindness
and so I came into the world with my hands in my jacket
made a whole lotta racket
couldn't speak, but I could beat on a stick

oh, when that aeroplane comes with the Lord
will I be ignored
will I be ignored by the Lord
will I be ignored

there was a woman, she looked on me sweetly
I needed her life to be with mine
but never will they meet
no, never will they see
these two vines will twist away, away
will I be ignored by the Lord
will I be ignored by the Lord, by the Lord
what for? I may travel on one leg
my breakfast will be unpaid
and the flapjacks will flap back off the ceiling onto my head
will I be ignored
will I be ignored by the Lord
will I be ignored

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.
