Raise Your Glass Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Right, right, turn off the lights
We're gonna lose our minds tonight
What's the dealio?
I love when it's all too much
5am turn the radio up
Where's the rock 'n roll?

Party crasher, penny snatcher
Call me up if you're a gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?

So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty, dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!

Slam, slam, oh hot damn
What part of a party don't you understand?
We should just freak out
(Freak out already)
Can't stop, coming in hot
I should be locked up right on the spot
It's so on right now
(It's so fucking on right now)

Party crasher, penny snatcher
Call me up if you're a gangsta
Don't be fizzy, just get dizzy
Why so serious?

So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty, dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!

Oh shit! My glass is empty
That sucks!

So if you're too school for cool
And you're treated like a fool
(You're treated like a fool)
You can choose to let it go
We can always, we can always party on our own

So raise your (oh, fuck)
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty, dirty little freaks

So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty, dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass for me!




Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass for me!

Throughout the song, Pink encourages us to let go of our inhibitions and embrace our inner freak without worrying about what others might think.

The line, "So raise your glass if you are wrong, in all the right ways," perfectly captures the spirit of the song.


Pink emphasizes the importance of being true to yourself and not being held back by societal expectations or fitting into a certain mold.

Okay, how did I not realize when I was a kid and was a fan for these songs for their catchiness, that Pink was actually a revolutionary?

@AMUSESWRLD

Elina Oliferovskiy was just thinking the SAME thing . beautiful person .

@lillysmith4040

Because no one was talking before about equality and inclusivity, for the media it was just a girl with good music and weird music videos, now everyone jumping on the trend

@mariadelgado4439

Everyone who listened to Pink as a kid now knows their worth and that they are so strong on their own.

SO true! I've been listening to her since I was in primary school, and she has made me who I am. Strong, determined and not afraid to be myself. Screw the rest of the world!!!
