Tyson - StarTalkin' lyrics

NDT: This is StarTalk! NDT: (quote from interview with Bill Moyers) Back when we thought Earth was alone in the universe We learned there were other planets That the Earth was just a planet, one of many "Well the sun in surely special" No the sun is just one of a hundred billion other suns "The galaxy? The Milky Way?" No the galaxy is one of a hundred billion galaxies "How about the universe?" TYSON: We're on planet Earth, living in this universe It's all we're gonna know, from the cradle to the hearse I'm tryna educate from me to all of yours Spittin scientific knowledge up in each and every verse StarTalkin' through a spacetime odyssey Leading you to question what is truth and what is fallacy You are a part of me. And I'm a part of you Cuz we're all made up of star stuff. So what you wanna do? Come together in a universal unity Take us to a place where we can be free to be you and me Intergalactic. That is our tactic Changing up the game like a number one draft pick Make you think different than you ever thought It's so enticing, promoting science through a work of art We're bringing balance. Evening the plane If you didn't know it then you better remember the name NDT: (quote from interview with Bill Moyers) Why should nature make anything in ones? We also have good theoretical grounds for suggesting The existence of a multiverse Where our universe is just one of some countless number Of other universes coming in and out of existence TYSON: It's T-Y-S-O-N. TYSON! Neil DeGra**e and Stephen Joseph are the right ones To educate and entertain you at the same time He does it through TV and I do it through rhyme Our minds shine bright like illumination To help improve the situation plaguing all our nations We need to be more scientifically literate If we're gonna innovate to recreate and flip the script One of a kind, multiply it by a billion What we think we know will be surpa**ed by our children Science, Tech, Engineering, Mathematics Will help to bridge the gap and teach people new tactics It shouldn't shake your faith if there's a creator Or if you think there's nothing, I don't care I'm no debater Everything depends on how you choose to live your life If you're tryna help another or you're tryna add strife Improve your life, get your act together dang it We gotta help the planet, control it, you gotta claim it Don't understand? Ball your hand, raise a fist! This little blue rock is all we got, catch my drift? Think critically, the Big Bang history and Evolution of body and mind are still a mystery So as we work to put together all the facts It's up to NONE of us to just kick back and relax! NDT: (quote from Bill Moyers interview) There is no known objects accounting for Most of the effective gravity in the universe Something is making stuff move That is not anything we have ever touched Something is making the universe accelerate TYSON: Acceleration. To help our nation Right on time like we pulled into the station This creation's an introduction To spark thought and give the people a discussion Shout out the Russians, for making Sputnik To give the Space Race a necessary uptick Until the moment that we landed on the moon A further destination has gotta be coming soon (Mars!) If you consume the conversation It gets simpler, removing complication Emancipation. It is your liberty To be free so that you can come and chill with me And we can break bread. Drop knowledge Make the people of the planet feel like they're in college Call it a scholarship the way I share my gift And give it up to Neil for giving people a lift! NDT: (quote from StarTalk Radio) With that going on, I'm not even necessary (*laughs*) Let's do more of that!
