Dummy Up Lyrics

They want the truth, they keep on drawing blanks
Dummy up, Dummy up, aah ahaa
They torture you, you're not giving up the facts
Dummy up, Dummy up, aah ahaa
They can't make you tell the truth, tell the truth ah aah ahaa
They can't tell you what to do, what to do ah aah ahaa

Keep it cool when asked if you're a spy
Dummy up, Dummy up, aah ahaa
Hold your tongue when they say you're FBI
Dummy up, Dummy up, aah ahaa
They can't make you tell the truth, tell the truth ah aah ahaa
They can't tell you what to do, what to do ah aah ahaaaaaaaaaaa

Keep it zipped when they ask for microfilm
Dummy up, Dummy up, aah ahaa
Plead the fifth, you'll be out of there real soon
Dummy up, Dummy up, aah ahaa
They can't make you tell the truth, tell the truth ah aah ahaa
They can't tell you what to do, what to do ah aah ahaa
They can't make you tell the truth, tell the truth ah aah ahaa
They can't tell you what to do, what to do ah aah ahaaaaaaaaaaa
Dummy up, Dummy up, aah ahaaaaaaaaa
Dummy up, Dummy up, aah ahaaaaaaaaa
Dummy up, Dummy up, aah ahaaaaaaaaa
Dummy up, Dummy up

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.
