Severance Check Lyrics

Just sign your name
Why should I? What did I do?
We can't explain
What's the grounds? It seems unfair

I guess I wasn't good enough?
Tattoos don't match a suit and tie
I don't think I should say goodbye
Conformity is not worth my pride

Here's your pay
Fuck you, this place and your check
Pack your things
All I need is my guitar

I guess I wasn't good enough?
Tattoos don't match a suit and tie
I don't think I should say goodbye
Conformity is not worth my pride

What did I do anyway?
It seems like I'm singled out
What did I do anyway?
Living life as I do
What did I do anyway?
Just let it go

I guess I wasn't good enough?
Tattoos don't match a suit and tie
I don't think I should say goodbye
Conformity is not worth my pride

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.
