Ergot Lyrics

Out!
No!

Crazy thoughts in my head
Must've had some wheat bread
Crazy thoughts in my head
Must've had some wheat bread

Do you see that?
I will run!

Crazy fucks with my head
Must've had some wheat bread
Crazy thoughts in my head
Must've had some bad bread

What do you see now?
I will run!
Don't eat that!
It makes you want to shit

Can't you feel the cold hand... mm
I see... mm
I can hear the sound of it
I fell in the roach bed
Bad bread

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.

Yeah this song is about ergot poisoning. Ergot being the fungus that grows on wheat. It causes hallucinations (it contains LSD), gangrene, and death among other things.

Technically, it doesn't contain LSD, although there are compounds in it that have a similar effect. But yeah, this stuff was big in the Middle Ages, since nobody saw the harm in letting hallucinogenic fungus grow on your grain. All those ecstatic saints who had crazy visions all the time? Yeah, ergotism. Also, the whole idea of witches having broomsticks supposedly comes from women putting ergot on phallic objects and absorbing the hallucinogenic substances vaginally, although I believe the evidence for it is rather specious.
