Call In Sick Lyrics

I didn't feel like going to work today
I called in sick but I feel ok
I'm getting used to the same old thing
Ever since my TV brainwashed me
Turned me into a stupid jerk
Go to work

Let's go!

I didn't feel like waking up today
I force myself to get up and go
I know my girlfriend's messing around
And I really don't care who she's going down on
As long as I don't have to call her up
Tried to listen to the radio
But I just can't seem to understand it
Man I figured out that one long ago
I'm getting used to the same old thing
But it doesn't mean that I have to stand it
Is there anywhere else that I can go?
Where I want to go

I never thought I would bitch about everything
I never thought I would feel this low
Figure it out because I really don't care
Figure it out while I sit here with a blank stare
Tried to listen to the radio
But I just can't seem to understand it
Man I figured out that one long ago
I'm getting used to the same old thing
But it doesn't mean that I have to stand it
Is there anywhere else that I can go?

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.
