Hide the Medicine Lyrics

Hide the medicine
Hide the medicine from the kids

Hide the medicine
Hide the bruises and the fists

We don't understand what you're talking about
And we're out on the ledge and we're on the way down

Hide the medicine
Hide the medicine
We don't understand what you're talking about
And we're out on the ledge and we're on the way down

Your mother said, your mother said you're beautiful to me
Your father said you're beautiful, you're beautiful to me

Hide the medicine
Hide the medicine from the kids

Hide the medicine
Hide the punches and the kicks

We don't understand what you're talking about
And we're all on the ledge and we're on the way down

Your mother said, your mother said you're beautiful to me
Your father said you're beautiful, you're beautiful to me
Your mother said, your mother said you're beautiful to me
Your father said you're beautiful, you're beautiful to me

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.

“'Hide the Medicine' is about the fact that not only is there an opioid epidemic over here, but several people that I knew have had children die from heroin overdoses, just in the small-ish community that I’m in. And it really kind of takes you back.“ Richard Butler 2020, spin.com interview
