CHORUS

Uh. I study. But I still don't get it

I know way too much about cells' organelles

That I didn't know last year

What's a vacuole?

I swear it feels like a lifetime of facts

But I'm twelve years old and I just can't remember it all

What's in this fluid? What am I doing?

Oh yeah. That's right. I'm doing science

It's about asking. It's more than facts. Man it's action

And guess what I'ma be when I'm older

When I'm older... Here's my science folder

VERSE 1

Allright. Bottlenose dolphins - Pretty darn awesome

Want to be in shuttles astronauts go off in

Try and pass science class. Hit the books often

But all of this jargon's gonna leave me in a coffin

I shouldn't have chose physics. Man I'm getting hosed

This assignment's got me feeling pretty low

Chemistry is like a language I'll never know

How am I supposed to know that in bright lights I'm using cones?

Teacher talking. Tympanic membrane swayin'

But over in my brain no idea what she's saying

How long have I been here? Atoms decaying

But if I want to understand the world, guess I'm stayin'

"Yo Jimmy - why am I gaining weight?"

Not sure but I'll hypothesize

Maybe it's the large fries and the lack of exercise

That's when I remember science is a way of thinking

And I take that cup of knowledge and I drink it

Ah!

CHORUS

I know way too much about torque and force that I didn't know last year

What's centripetal?

I swear it feels like a lifetime of facts but I'm only thirteen and

I just can't remember it all

What is a Newton? What am I doin'?

Oh yeah. That's right. I'm doing science

It's about asking. It's more than facts, man, it's action

And guess what I'ma be when I'm older

When I'm older... Here's my science folder

VERSE 2

Uh!

One thing 'bout slurpees when they hit they freeze your brain

Just like science frees your brain

More than a matter of facts. I'm just saying

You're acquiring a fire. Curiosity's the flame

The desire to inquire just ignite it and start playin'

Observe. Best guess. Test. Data look wicked

Dang that model's looking fine

"Watson and Crick" it

Draw a picture. Write it up for others to critique it

If Oompa Loompas replicate it that's the golden ticket

And it's just a part of science some might disagree

Get your data. Get your data. And don't miss a beat

Everything is in the open. There's no mystery

Just debate it on the logic. This is inquiry

And we'll slowly find the truth long as scientists are dutiful

Top of giants' shoulders see the world and she beautiful

That's when I remember science is so full of wonder...

I can handle memorizing a few numbers

Ah!

CHORUS

I know way too much about carbon bonds that I didn't know last year

What's a buckyball?

I swear it feels like, the last nine months,we've been everywhere and back

But I just can't remember it all

What's a solution? What am I doin'?

Oh yeah. That's right. I'm doing science

It's about asking. It's more than facts, man, it's action

And guess what I'ma be when I'm older

When I'm older... Here's my science folder

Yeah, that's right. I'm doing science

It's about asking. It's more than facts, man, it's action

And guess what I'ma be when I'm older

When I'm older...

Here's my science folder
