Bassy song with no natural instruments.
Electronic sampling meets traditional rock instruments, with nods to hard rock and classical.
Electronic sampling meets traditional rock, with nods to hard rock and classical.
Story behind the song
The overperscription of an unnecessary drug for a condition invented by pharmaceutical companies
Lyrics
Someone get the Ritalin,
Can't you see he's starting to get hyper?
Tries to get outside, and it's pouring rain.
It's pouring rain.
Someone get the Ritalin
Can't sit still for more than half an hour,
Becoming a distraction and it's easier,
It's easier this way.
Ah,
[holding back and holding down a
miracle of confidence and]
This way.
Ah,
[well-adjusted and attentive,
not enough for anyone]
This way.
Someone get the Ritalin,
Can't you see she's getting kind of nervous.
She's acting like a chicken
with it's head cut off, cut off,
Cut off, cut off!
Someone get the Ritalin,
I think he's showing most aggressive symptoms,
It's causing a disruption
And it's not normal,
It's not normal.
Ah,
[Know you've got a problem when you're
Queueing for prescriptions and you're]
Normal.
Ah,
[Getting to be, getting to be,
Getting to be, getting to be]
Normal.
