Science Facts Are Useful (Live)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well it doesn't take a genius to realise
being good at school
can be cool
put on your lab coats
boffins rule
(Nerd): I-I'd actually r-rather y-you don't u-use
the t-term boffins b-because i-if anything it means having sex
well there's nothing wrong with putting on your thinking cap
though your social skills
may be crap
you can impress with ease
cool facts
(Nerd): That Playstation you're playing at? Science made that.
That ghetto deck you're rapping off beats to? Science made that too.
Without science we wouldn't have cheap bathtub biker speed
Oh, science facts are useful
That's why they teach 'em to ya
you're teachers wouldn't screw ya
don't be a fool
The science school is cool
Well you may not see a scientist in rock and roll
but they understand
the mineral properties of rock
as well as the physics of roll
"Oh help Mr. Scientist I burnt my handbone on a boiling water"
"How do you know it was boiling? Was it bubbling?"
"Er..no"
"Then it wasn't really boiling"
"I feel better already"
"GO SCIENCE!"
Help, help, I lost my ball bearing down the drain
Then get a magnet man
But it's a really deep drain
Then you'll need a really long magnet
"GO SCIENCE"
Oh, science facts are useful
That's why they teach 'em to ya
you're teachers wouldn't screw ya
don't be a fool
The science school is cool
Oh help Mr Scientist I need you again, how does a hot air balloon rise?
Because it's a HOT-AIR balloon
Oh
How do I deal with girls, and not feel awkward?
(long silence)
Did you know that the atomic structure of butter is not dissimilar to...
But.. but I was asking about
Margarine on the other hand
BREAK IT DOWN!
Oh, science facts are useful x4
(meanwhile Gatesy is talking in background)
Gatesy: Ok, rock and roll moment everyone!
Hold your lighters in the air!
But be careful because butane even when contained
in very small amounts is an extremely volatile gas
(oh science facts are useful)
Thanks to Isaac Newton we can crowd-surf!
(that's why they teach 'em to ya)
The bikini top is a great invention!
Your teachers wouldn't screw ya
don't be a fool
the science school is cool....yaaa!
