Lyrics
Would you let a banker take out your kidney
Or maybe a blogger to do your brain surgery
How about a talk show host to treat your cancer
There’s an obvious answer
I like science, science is grand
There’re so many things it helps us understand
I like science, science is cool
I hope they don’t stop teaching it in school
Don’t let science be sabotaged and shattered
By conspiracy theories mad as the hatter
They twist and turn your mind in strange directions
Especially during elections
I like science, most everyday
I like unencumbered evidence to light my way
I like science, science is cool
I hope they don't stop teaching it
Opinions are fine, and often very logical
But out there on the internet, where science goes to die
An anecdotal thread wraps around your head
And the man behind the curtain is certain to tell you that science is a lie
But I like science, the sense of wonder
Uncovering the secrets of our own existence
Oh science, science is cool
I hope they don’t stop teaching
They better not stop teaching it
Oh my god, if they stop teaching it
We’re screwed
SCIENCE!
