bookmark_borderStep It Up (Work!)

LYRICS
Step by step by step
Going up. Going down.
Work! The product of the force applied to move
(Is it work to groove?)
Work! Measure the height, right? Right!
Don’t be a dope and measure the slope
After all, moving forward is no work at all
Step by step by step
Going up. Going down.
Power! Am I dumb…
Power… the rate work is done?
Come on! Let’s have some
What? Watt! What? What!
Is it plain the plane requires less work…
Or, am I just being a jerk?
What if I’m to climb two steps at a time
Or better yet I get to go down
Is there any work to be found?
Can I get gravity to do it for me?
Let’s see…
Step by step by step
Going up. Going down.

LYRICS
Come down to Earth? For what it’s worth, you force me to grasp the gravity… gravity of gravity
Creating the possibility of thermal energy
Putting the weight of the world on my shoulders
I suppose we’re all beholders
Gravitating toward one another
Stopping us from drifting further
Come down to Earth? For what it’s worth, you can’t force me to grasp the gravity of gravity
Maybe not a force at all
I’m not sure
If you’re just a consequence of the curvature
Not a straight line in space-time
Come down to Earth? For what it’s worth, you force me to grasp the gravity… gravity of gravity
Our attractive force is proportional
To the product of our masses
Igniting spheres of hydrogen gases
Creating complexities such as galaxies
Come down to Earth? For what it’s worth, you force me to grasp the gravity… gravity of gravity
Bodies in the universe
Drawn on a collision course

Experiment In Biology.mp3

LYRICS
Understanding the biology that is me
Some sort-of anatomy. Me.

I raise my hand
I don’t understand
“Oh, Teacher, may I use the restroom, pleeeeeease!”
“I gotta go peeeeeee!”
It’s not that I object to a by-product
It’s just the by-product’s got the better part of me
And, I really gotta pee
… call it an experiment in biology… can we… just call it an experiment in biology?

From what I can see, the anatomy making up me…
Well… if you want to get scientifical about my genital
I really gotta pee
When I don’t understand, I raise my hand

Me? I guess I major in biology… gee
Gee whiz, I guess I’m a master in biology
Like a Phd. I got a pee
Got my masters in biology
It mastered me
I really gotta pee

LYRICS
And, now… for some science friction:
The coefficient of friction
µ (Mu)
Saved my life… how about you?
Why the fuss?
Friction is why rain doesn’t kill us

“In the real world” we all have some friction when we touch each other
Reach out and touch
Reach out and touch
… touch each other

The coefficient of friction
Let us go dimensionless
Well, er, a… we’re scalar
Curiously similar to measuring your luminosity
As in Candela. See. See?
The coefficient of friction

For that matter, when it comes to water… don’t drag a dead horse
Thus, the fuss — friction is why rain doesn’t kill us
Join the frictional force
µ (Mu), µ (Mu), µ (Mu)
The herd heard
If only in name, will it ever be the same?

LYRICS
Gravitational potential energy
The gravity of the position that is me
Alas, my mass (times) gravity (times) height
Is that right?
Position in a force field
I’ve got power to yield
From on tall as I fall
I drop potential
Just as quick climbs kinetic
Me as energy

Spring into action
The potential of elastic energy
Awake from equilibrium position
Partake in taking part of action
Me as energy. The potential I see.
Don’t fear to kick it into gear

Me as energy
Be energy
We as energy
Energy we can be

Four dimensional sensational

LYRICS
Though I may appear sloppy
I’m happy
And if you pull back, you just might see
The anomaly of me
Through chaos theory
If you’re in the hurricane, you can’t see the eye
But, when you pull back, you can eye I
You can see me
Unordered system that I am
Or may appear to be
Relatively, it’s up to you and your point-of-view
Nevertheless, your relativity has little impact on reality. Really.
So, you see
Chaos theory
Insane to deny the eye of a hurricane
Insane to deny the I of my hurricane
Us is chaos

LYRICS
Does anybody know if this is it?
The decision of the ribbon
The decision of the rhythm
Ribbin’
Like string theory
Doesn’t have to be such a mystery
Just use your mind’s eye… I
Decypher the cypher in the sky

The decision of the ribbon
Rubbing the ribbon

More like how a butterfly flaps it’s wings
The resulting things
Chaos theory
The decision of the ribbon
The decision of the rhythm
In the chaos theory

Don’t want to fade away

Snakeoil salesman are just weasels
Damn us from the animal kingdom

Foretold

ABOUT THIS SONG

The free radical theory of aging (FRTA) states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. Strictly speaking, the free radical theory is only concerned with free radicals such as superoxide ( O2 ), but it has since been expanded to encompass oxidative damage from other reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), or peroxynitrite (OONO)

LYRICS
Can we speed things up a little bit
Please, can we?
Of course we’re on a collision course
Plain to see

Inevitable collateral damage from the hit
Unfortunately, includes me
But, even worse…
Includes all of us

No sense in slowing down
Seize or freeze
Wear the devil’s crown
Cease to be

Can we hurry things up a bit
Please, can we?
Get a divorce from this collision course
Ohhhh humanity

I mean, it’s worthy of a primal scream
