Machinery Lyrics

The roar of machinery
But there's green everywhere I look
Good that it dies now
Good that the earth shook
Cultivated sense of mystery
Kettle of a personal history
Good manipulator
Cry inside nation
That lost it's patience
Lost in your own voice
Shaking in your stand
A rock and go win one
Flakey as an onion
A delicate fun run
Sure as the sun shines
The roar of machinery
Obsessing on tragedy
Personal tragedy
Sick upon the nation
Suck up in your station
As sure as the sun will shine

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.
