I despise the lyric sites that perpetuate
bad interpretations of song lyrics by merely re-printing the mistakes of others. Like this lyric from the Ramones 'Let the Punishment Fit the Crime'...
The way you find it on some sites on the web:
"Let the punishment fit the crime
The footprints on the
sign the time
The philosophy of the
warish crime
Makes a man humble in his prime"
Take a good listen and you'll hear:
"Let the punishment fit the crime
The footprints on the
sands of time
The philosophy of the
poet's rhyme
Makes a man humble in his prime"
I know, small dif. But if you listen to the song, the lyric is quite clear (for the Ramones at least.) I can't understand how someone misheard the real version. Besides, the top version sucks...what the heck is a 'warish crime' anyway?
Erghh...
