Hank Green & the Perfect Strangers - The Universe Is Weird lyrics

Well, a quark can never exist by itself in isolation Something very odd happens when you try to separate them The energy it takes to break up those two best friends Is just enough to create two more to join back up with them And a photon has no ma** and thus it travels at light speed If you could imagine going that fast and if you try I think you might be You'd be emitted and absorbed both in the exact same instant Even if you traveled from a place 13 billion light years distant 'CAUSE THE UNIVERSE IS WEIRD I'm kinda freaking out What the heck is this all about? Infinite unbounded sets and hadronizing gluon jets and We'll never understand half of what we have at hand At least that's what I fear 'cause the universe is weird An electron has a strong charge as strong as a proton And a tiny ma** but not nonexistant like the photon and You might want to take a seat now 'cause this might blow your mind It has ma** and charge, but not, apparently, a size And there's a lot of stuff all around you right now Your chair, your friend, your planet, and your sister's neighbor's cow And all that mundane ma** and energy is all we know and understand But it's only 4% of what the universe has at hand 'CAUSE THE UNIVERSE IS WEIRD I'm kinda freaking out What the heck is this all about? Infinite unbounded sets and hadronizing gluon jets and We'll never understand half of what we have at hand At least that's what I fear 'cause the universe is weird Well, I was driving in a van with my brother and I said Hey, John, guess what, like, dude, NO EDGE! Because the universe does not exist in any way we can conceive it No center, no edge, no none of that, whether or not you can believe it And once upon a time in a ga**y liquid stew A molecule was like "hey, I turned me into you" This may be the biggest mystery of all the ones in which we dwell How the universe created a tool with which to know itself 'CAUSE THE UNIVERSE IS WEIRD I'm kinda freaking out What the heck is this all about? Infinite unbounded sets and hadronizing gluon jets and We'll never understand half of what we have at hand At least that's what I fear 'cause the universe is weird Oh, yeah Oh, it's so weird So freaking weird Oh why in the universe Is the universe so weird It's freaking freaking me out it's so weird Why in the universe Why in the universe Is the universe so weird
