Grey Suits Lyrics

Even grey suits have their day
all the promises they made
all the bad words you can't say
you signed up now fake it
you signed up now make it
you signed up now make us proud
the best is yet to come
the best is yet to come
seeing how they break you

be honest
you want it
nothing else will do
it's never enough for you
it's never enough for you
it's never enough for you

and even grey suits have their way
all your friendships find their graves
in the lounge where you write
they are lost
and you are found
the weather's fair in the clouds
you signed up now make them proud
the best is yet to come
the best is yet to come
the best is when you're falling from your... throne

you bought it it's never enough for you
you bought it it's never enough for you
you bought it it's never enough for you
it's never enough for you
it's never enough for you
it's never enough for you

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.
