lyrics

When I was in school, science didn't capture my imagination
I just found it boring
It was thick black and white textbooks full of technical jargon
Nowadays, being into science is cool
You see all these kids who are proud to be nerds, walking around with backpacks and straight clothes
Their parents encourage it
There's all this propaganda about technology being the future and if you've got a brain for science then you should consider yourself lucky
It's a guarantee of a good job and a life of constant discovery and happiness

When I go to sleep
At night I see
Equations in my head
Like counting sheep
All these mysteries
And our histories
Conspire to conclude
That evangelically science chose me

It's just a total lie
Most scientists spend their time making E numbers and housecleaning products
They're slaves to giant corporations
It's true that I wish I knew how to fix the toaster or self-diagnose when I'm poorly
But I like a little mystery

I choose feel, I choose soul
I follow my gut over data protocol
I choose sight, I choose sound
I want the world, not just its coordinates down
