Never Was Lyrics

Mom says it's time to grow up
Yeah Right, I'm gonna take my time
My ideas always blow up
I'm gonna fight this fucked up structured way of life
I gotta be twice my age in these young years of my prime as
I'm now at that age where I've got to prove
That I'm as good as I NEVER WAS
As good as I NEVER WAS...
To be a boring everyday conformist
Never once seemed all that fun to me
The government wants me on their death list
Fuck the armed forces I'm drinking Dos Equis
Don't wanna be a Henry Rollins Rock Star , a cop or lawyer cuz
I'm now at the age where I've got to prove
That I'm as good as I NEVER WAS
As good as I NEVER WAS...
It's time for me to prove something
But I don't know what...

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.
