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!
