Promoter (of Earthbound Causes) Lyrics

Warmed up my motor, swindled the promoter
Took a lunatic for a ride
And a little voice said inside my head
Rosemary baby, I got the thyme

Suffering madness and the Pharoah’s plague
I, Akhenaten tell you some other day
No thank you, that’s enough for me
A little bit of Ritalin goes a long way

Ready to rock if you want to roll
Please step away from the vehicle
Ragnarock and revolutionize
Gimme just a minute while I clarify

Cooled down my temper, tried to remember
What it was I wasn’t to lose
And I probably could were it not for
The beer and the broads and the broads and the booze.

Hooked on stupid, and the whole shebang
I never have ever felt the same
No thank you, that’s enough for me
That’s prozacly not what I need

Ready to rock if you want to roll
Please step away from the vehicle
Ragnarock and revolutionize
Gimme just a minute while I clarify

There's plenty of fun little plays on words here that are quite groovy.

The song seems to be about medicating your troubles away. The reffrences to Ritalin and Prozac are the main things that brought me to this idea. This line:

"Cooled down my temper, tried to remember What it was I wasn’t to lose And I probably could were it not for The beer and the broads and the broads and the booze."

Seems to suggest that he's still trying to hold onto what he is, but has drank that bit away too.

So it's not just medicating your problems away the way that is pushed on people via mental disorder correcting persciptions, but also the way that people try to drink and fuck their problems out of their heads.

He wasn't to lose his temper. It's a very clever line :)

I agree with SlightlyShinobi, but think that the song is also about how we use drugs to both cause and cure insanity.

Funny creatures, us humans.

Ragnorok is the Norse mythological prophecy of the apocalypse.

Did you have to Wiki that?

I love this song and by the way the song goes than a little voice inside my head said Rosemary baby i got the time.u also messed up on this it is goes cooled down my temper and tried to remember what it was i wasn\'t to lose and i probaby could were it not for the beer and the broads and the booze. just to let everyone know the real lyrics to the song. i listen to this song for like one month i love it to death.

It's thyme you idiot, these lyrics are right. Rosemary and fucking thyme.

Thyme was used in Ancient Egypt to embalm, also thyme has been believed to bring about courage, and also safe passage unto death. So, yes, it is "thyme" and not "time" it's a wordplay. Otherwise the next verse makes no sense.

Ckyrocks, this song is about people's dependency for drugs. Thyme is an herb used as a medicine.
