[Intro]
They call this fun
(Forced to run)
Struck with switches
(Sons of ba, ba)
… itches!
(Run!)

[Verse 1]
When all’s said and one
Nobody won
Cause everyone chooses
That everyone loses

[Chorus]
Adding on the regret
(Running the gauntlet)
Primitive outlet
(Running the gauntlet)

[Bridge]
They call this fun
(Forced to run)
Struck with switches
(Sons of ba, ba)
… itches!
(Run!)
Run!
(All’s undone)

[Verse 2]
Under setting sun
Nobody’s won
We all chose…
To come to a close

[Chorus]
Adding on the regret
(Running the gauntlet)
Primitive outlet
(Running the gauntlet)

[Bridge]
They call this fun
(Forced to run)
Struck with switches
(Sons of ba, ba)
… itches!
(Run!)
Run!
(And then some)

[Outro]
(Sons of ba, ba)
… itches
Left in stitches

A SCIENCE NOTE: Violent Wind
What turns severe weather events into ‘violent wind and rain events’ is the application of the drag equation and flow dynamics.

Mass and velocity are just part of the equation; density also plays a key role. The combination of these variables increases the intensity of flow forces. Wind and water forces scale with the square of velocity, meaning that as flow speeds increase — due to more intense heating or heavier rainfall — the damage scales accordingly. According to drag physics, force is proportional to density times the square of velocity.

For example, a 20-mile-an-hour wind exerts four times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind, while a 40-mile-an-hour wind exerts 16 times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind. At 50 miles an hour, the force is 25 times greater, and at 60 miles an hour, it’s 36 times greater than at 10 miles an hour. What about rain in the wind? Now, add the density factor: water is about 800 times denser than air, so a 10-mile-an-hour water flow exerts 800 times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind without rain.
