Breakdown Championship Lyrics

One last chance to say all the things you wanted to. One last chance to sue
all the people you wanted to.
You ask me what’s my greatest fear. Honey, it’s living here earning
$6.50/hr. And I feel like I’m being tested. Don’t test me.
One last chance to sue all the people you wanted to. One last chance to
slander all the people you wanted to.
You ask me what’s my greatest fear. Honey, it’s living here earning
$6.50/hr.
And often when I’m sitting in my room, I stare at my poster of Prince, and
sometimes I think of you. And I spit when I do.
I...hate...that...piece...of....me...it...looks...too...much...like...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.

This is the most powerful song I've heard in a very long time. Jim Yoshii Pile-Up is one of the only bands that consistently fulfills its incredible potential.
