How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

From the Meat Puppets II liner notes:

Four funereal tom-tom beats announce “Lake of Fire”, an epic song that lasts less than two minutes. Curt says it “was a cartoon song about the idea of the whole fuckin' Catholic nature of evil.”
