Absentee Lyrics

I don't care for your revolution
I don't know the day of the week
But I'll be your utmost trusted absentee

I'm so over your personal crisis
Let me know if our state secedes
But you'll probably never hear from me

So mark me condemned, and mark me as vacant
I'm out of mind, and I'm out of sight
Strikethrough my name, forget my location
I'll stage a coup when the timing's right

I'll wake up to a new national language
I'll sleep in while the coasts recede
TV movie, you can have my story free

I'm so over your sovereign nation
And your block party best move along
Your injustices make me yawn

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.
