...how would I edit the TeX(t) then?

/I'm horribly ignorant on this, obviously.

LyX is a UI to edit text, yeah?  Use that to edit the actual text/content of the doc?

That's raw TeX (EDIT: Your previous example). Look up LaTeX instead. Should be as simple as:
Code: [Select]
\documentclass{article}
\title{Chickens and Their Role in Science}
\author{Bubble Gum Joe}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\section{Introduction}
Chickens play a vital role in science somehow.

\subsection{Subsections Work Too!}
\textbf{Bold} and \textit{Italic text}.

\end{document}

LaTeX is a markup language like, for example, HTML. You just need a text editor really.
