Bad Science

Moms and dads break up their gangs,

take away their roller skates

Give them algebra and trig

raisins, dates, or figs

But take away the gingerbread and cake

Every husband, every wife, every cop, every teacher

everybody do the taking away

every law, every curfew, ever Bible-branded textbook

watch the kiddies do the breaking away

Moms and dads say,

"No more bands

no side projects, no solo careers

no young love

no kissing fish

no pets at all

no fun

and

I think we've had enough art, Mr. Marks."

Every molecule, every atom, every single particle

down to the quark

Do the breaking apart!

No skateboard no swimming pools

until you've finished your state approved chemistry,

kid!

Break it down to the electron and quark

and please tell us what happens when the particles spark

Every molecule, every atom, every single particle

down to the quark

Do the breaking apart!
