Operation Lyrics

I need an... Take me to a hospital. 'Cause there's too much blood loss to tell if I'll make it out alive. My body's got a war inside. The foxy nurse I talked her into getting a new doctor. Someone who cares about me makes sense. Someone with patience for his patients. I need an operation. Oh Lord, please operate. I need an operation. Remove the pride, extract the hate. Bring the color back into my cheeks, because my flesh is wrong and my spirit's weak. I need a room for this emergency. The ER would suit me perfectly. With tubes and needles stuck into me. I'm a non-poisonous IV. I think my life just passed me by. Twenty years, an ugly sight. But God was there through thin and thick, but there's so much thin it makes me sick. I need an operation. Oh Lord, please operate. I need an operation. Remove the pride, extract the hate. Bring the color back into my cheeks, because my flesh is wrong and my spirit's weak.

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.

It's unreleased... if you're lucky, you'll run into a random person online kind enough to email it to you.

Actually it's from The Creepy EP, which can be bought at http://www.zambooie.com/stores/Detail.tpl?st_id=153&sku=RKCD105&

Well there you go! I didn't realize you could buy The Creepy EP anywhere. That's odd because from all the links on the side, you can't ever get to the page to buy the Creepy EP...
