Prime Ministers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You light a cigar
You make up your mind
And start on your track
You travel many miles but can't find the highway
No matter where you go, you end up the wrong way
Youtube dot com facebook dot com
"To think" is what you can't
It's hard to figure out a brain in a pan
High 5 you are high
Your anorexic mind is falling behind
You call out your friends
Nobody knows what to say
No help coming back
Only the call of the wild
Being lost depends on knowing where you are going
In your case you are just with the merry-go-round crowd
Youtube dot com facebook dot com
Don't try to understand what I'm saying if you can't
It must be hard to have your brain in a pan...
High 5 you are high... riding with the merry go wrong crowd...
Do you see the monkeys playing?
Can you hear the shit they're spraying?
Let me save you from their praying
Smoking Monkeys
Do you see the monkeys playing?
Can you hear the shit they're spraying?
Let me save you from their praying
Smoking Monkeys
You travel many miles but can't find the highway
No matter where you go you end up the wrong way
You tube dot com face book your fault
You think you are magnificent
"To think" is what you can't
It's hard to figure out a brain in a pan
Riding with the merry go wrong crowd!
Do you see the monkeys playing?
Can you hear the shit they're spraying?
Let me save you from their praying... smoking monkeys
The song "Smoking Monkeys" by Prime Ministers talks about being lost in life and not knowing where to go. The song begins with the singer getting into his car and lighting a cigar. He wants to start his journey but cannot figure out the right way to go. No matter where he goes, he ends up on the wrong track. The lyrics are layered with references to social media, like YouTube and Facebook, that make the singer feel like he is magnificent. However, he cannot think clearly and wonders about his purpose in life.
The chorus talks about smoking monkeys and how they sprout nonsense. The singer wants to save others from the same fate and urges them not to follow the herd blindly. Being lost in life, according to the song, is dependent on knowing where you should be headed. However, the singer is with the "merry-go-round crowd" - people who are lost in their lives, following trends and lacking direction. The chorus repeats twice more, emphasizing the idea of not following others blindly and finding one's own path.
With their unique and quirky style, Prime Ministers makes a point about social media trends and the monotony of following the herd blindly. The song urges people to think beyond the limitations set by society and discover their own purpose. The song's references to smoking monkeys may seem bizarre, but it fits perfectly in the context of the lyrics. The song's upbeat tempo, catchy chorus, and clever lyrics make it a fun and thought-provoking listen.
