Tom McFadden - Older lyrics

CHORUS Uh. I study. But I still don't get it I know way too much about cells' organelles That I didn't know last year What's a vacuole? I swear it feels like a lifetime of facts But I'm twelve years old and I just can't remember it all What's in this fluid? What am I doing? Oh yeah. That's right. I'm doing science It's about asking. It's more than facts. Man it's action And guess what I'ma be when I'm older When I'm older... Here's my science folder VERSE 1 Allright. Bottlenose dolphins - Pretty darn awesome Want to be in shuttles astronauts go off in Try and pa** science cla**. Hit the books often But all of this jargon's gonna leave me in a coffin I shouldn't have chose physics. Man I'm getting hosed This a**ignment's got me feeling pretty low Chemistry is like a language I'll never know How am I supposed to know that in bright lights I'm using cones? Teacher talking. Tympanic membrane swayin' But over in my brain no idea what she's saying How long have I been here? Atoms decaying But if I want to understand the world, guess I'm stayin' "Yo Jimmy - why am I gaining weight?" Not sure but I'll hypothesize Maybe it's the large fries and the lack of exercise That's when I remember science is a way of thinking And I take that cup of knowledge and I drink it Ah! CHORUS I know way too much about torque and force that I didn't know last year What's centripetal? I swear it feels like a lifetime of facts but I'm only thirteen and I just can't remember it all What is a Newton? What am I doin'? Oh yeah. That's right. I'm doing science It's about asking. It's more than facts, man, it's action And guess what I'ma be when I'm older When I'm older... Here's my science folder VERSE 2 Uh! One thing 'bout slurpees when they hit they freeze your brain Just like science frees your brain More than a matter of facts. I'm just saying You're acquiring a fire. Curiosity's the flame The desire to inquire just ignite it and start playin' Observe. Best guess. Test. Data look wicked Dang that model's looking fine "Watson and Crick" it Draw a picture. Write it up for others to critique it If Oompa Loompas replicate it that's the golden ticket And it's just a part of science some might disagree Get your data. Get your data. And don't miss a beat Everything is in the open. There's no mystery Just debate it on the logic. This is inquiry And we'll slowly find the truth long as scientists are dutiful Top of giants' shoulders see the world and she beautiful That's when I remember science is so full of wonder... I can handle memorizing a few numbers Ah! CHORUS I know way too much about carbon bonds that I didn't know last year What's a buckyball? I swear it feels like, the last nine months,we've been everywhere and back But I just can't remember it all What's a solution? What am I doin'? Oh yeah. That's right. I'm doing science It's about asking. It's more than facts, man, it's action And guess what I'ma be when I'm older When I'm older... Here's my science folder Yeah, that's right. I'm doing science It's about asking. It's more than facts, man, it's action And guess what I'ma be when I'm older When I'm older... Here's my science folder
