Raise No Fool Lyrics

Oh the high hopes, oh the big dreams, oh the mediocrity of me.
The disappointment. I'm a failure. This honesty doesn't look so good to me.
Mother, father I wanna make you proud, but I've been wasted, wasting away.
Mother, father I don't know if I subscribe to the songs and rhymes to the books and lies.
are you listening?
Send me a sign. I've been drunk from your cup.
I've tasted your blood.
You've got those teeth marks in your flesh.
Oh lord is this a test?
I wanna be who you want.
I aim to please but I got this giant ego to feed.
I know you call me your own. and I miss my home.
But I just gotta figure out what I believe, and I remain untapped and you look so beautiful.

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.
