Laws of Physics
[by the Bungee Jumpin’ Cows]
Topic: The laws of physics
Summary: A person’s sometimes painful experiences with the laws of physics in a highly danceable funk groove.
Chorus:
These are the laws of physics.
You're busted, uh huh - you know you cannot break the law
Can't run, can't glide, can't take a ride,
Can't stop, can't move, can't bump or groove
Without the laws of physics
You're riding your bike down the block
You hit a rock and your bicycle stops
You were movin' fast wind in your hair
Your bike has stopped, now you're flyin' in the air
You wish you were skinny with a little less fat
'Cause the bigger you are, the bigger the splat
And you hit a bunch of kids, like a bowling ball
You know the harder you come, the harder they fall - It's the law!
Chorus
Your parents said to go clean your room
You've been workin' at it hard, now you're sweatin' with a broom
They just wouldn't listen when you made your plea
I didn't mess it up, it's just entropy!
It's the universe's fault, it don't got no heart
Everything put together falls apart
Wish I could freeze it to minus four fifty nine
Then the atoms wouldn't move, and my room'd be fine - It's the law!
Chorus
Bridge: Pull over there, with the lead in your shoe
What's the matter officer? The matter is you!
I clocked your speed 186 thou.
Going much faster than the law will allow
I know the rules, I won't give you a fight
If you've got mass you can't go the speed of light - It's the law!
Everything is attracted to all other things
The greater the mass, you know the greater the cling
My booty was attracted to the ground the other day
That's gravity at work in a painful way
My attraction to Tina is more than gravity though
Not all attractions are explained with physics you know
But I'm glad she's attracted to the planet Earth with me
Thank goodness for the law of universal gravity! - It's the law!
