Idoless Lyrics

I don't know but I know it
You better find out what your place is
Urban plight is in the city streets
It is infectious and it is complacent
Idoless
Over expression and rationed, assimilated temptation
Intergrity, integrate... integregation
Molested, accosted, detested
Ill wreck wreck this coming down like the apocalypse
Idoless (Syndication)
I dont know but I know it
You better find out what your name is
Arrested, infested, its your collective
Coming off like you wrote the ten commandments
Idoless (Syndication)
I dont know but I know it
You better find out what your place is
Urban plight is in the city streets
It is infectious and you are complacent
Idoless (Syndication)
The idol is within you
Watch it come on through
The idol is within you
Watch it come on through

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.

Because people like being poster children for legalized abortion.

This song is very powerful.

I think this song means that when you figure out who you are, you don't need to look up to anyone else because you're everything you aspired to be.
