Son of Orange County Lyrics

And in your dreams, you can see yourself as a prophet.
Saving the world, with words from your lips.
(I am not a crook)
I just can't believe you are such a fool.

I just can't believe, you are such a fool
I just can't believe, you are such a fool
I just can't believe, you are such a fool
I just can't believe, you are such a fool

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.

Cover art for Son of Orange County lyrics by Frank Zappa

Musically one of my favorite 2-3 Zappa songs. Obvious references to Nixon with "I am not a crook", etc. Born in Yorba Linda, California and at nine moving to Whittier, CA. Nixon's the Son of Orange County. Beyond rightfully calling him a fool, the song is simply a hard jam.
