Sayonara

"Sayonara" is a song by LorD and Master. From the album, Substantial, this song is about the five years of daily homophobic bullying the artist endured prior to leaving the company. The clean "radio edit" on the maxi-single has the word "bitches" replaced by "darlings", which almost makes it more biting.

Lyrics

Sayonara, bitches
I’ll never come back
I wanted you to know
Before you stop the track
Sayonara, bitches
And whatever you do
Never forget that I’m worth
A hundred of you

I suppose you think it’s funny
To treat me as you did
But I’m here to tell you, honey
I’m not some pesky kid

And so you let me down
You disappointed everyone
You behaved like such a clown
Except without the fun

Sayonara, bitches
I’ll never come back
I wanted you to know
Before you stop the track
Sayonara, bitches
And whatever you do
Never forget that I’m worth
A hundred of you

‘ere we go again
Self-righteously wrong
You can be such a pain
Have been all along

And still you let me down
Disappointing everyone
Your nose stained with brown
Boss thinks you’re number one

Sayonara, bitches
I’ll never come back
I wanted you to know
Before you stop the track
Sayonara, bitches
And whatever you do
Never forget that I’m worth
A hundred of you

Just wanted to say, just wanted to say
Just wanted to say, just wanted to say
Just wanted to say, just wanted to say
Just wanted to say, just wanted to say
Just wanted to say, just wanted to say

Sayonara, bitches
I’ll never come back
I wanted you to know
Before you stop the track
Sayonara, bitches
And whatever you do
Never forget that I’m worth
A hundred of you
