Yeah, when I'm not in love with the lyrics I've written for a song, I tend to just pick out the bits that bother me the most and just replace those bits and that usually does enough to make them acceptable.
One thing I try to avoid when writing lyrics are things that will date the song. So in stead of trying to be "modern" and saying "I sent you a tweet" I would simply say "I sent you a message", as we will always send messages in some form but sending Tweets may seem "so 2017" in a few years, if you know what i mean. Same with slang, I tend to use words that are established and although are not the "latest thing the kids are saying", they are still words the kids will accept, like "cool" for instance.
