Intro
Yo, Physics,
Come on,
Uh huh,
Alright.

Verse
Yo, check yourself ‘cause you’re in motion,
Physically impossible to stop and be done,
Aristotle’s gotta say, no way to rest, son,
3-2-1, permanent ignition,
‘Cause I know what you’re thinking when you think to bring none,
Only looking out for what has devotion,
Time without movement is like Earth without the sun,
No existence for all y’all punks,
I’m sick of seeing all these loose comparisons,
The definition ain’t agreed upon,
We move right ahead ‘cause we know motion,
Right? Or are we hardly even wrong?
We never get the chance, ‘cause we don’t clarify,
And as long as we realize there might be time,
Are infinity and motion mostly in a line?
I say I can’t rock and be blind.

Lead
There’s gotta be motion ‘cause there always was time,
But maybe we should be more clear about what we define,
It’s hard to make a point or point to why,
But it’s pointless unless you try,
There’s gotta be motion ‘cause there always was time,
But maybe we should be more clear about what we define,
It’s hard to make a point or point to why,
But it’s pointless unless you try.

Chorus
We shouldn’t talk about what we don’t know,
I know we can,
But we should refrain,
Relax and take a break,
We shouldn’t talk about what we don’t know,
I know we can,
But we should refrain,
Relax and take a break.

Verse
Yo, we gotta all be on the same damn page,
‘Cause if we are then it won’t change,
Yet people still complain that it stays the same,
Tired of those who only think it’s a game,
They say that life’s that way and you gotta learn to play,
But I could never say that that’s okay,
‘Cause even though we joke, we soon realize,
We better be in motion ‘cause we’re running out of time,
‘Cause Aristotle ain’t shit to me,
What he discovers I cannot see,
Just messin’ with definitions,
Never really tapping unknown oceans,
So bring it home if you hope to understand,
Never take too much out of one game plan,
This song doesn’t make any sense in the end,
But I return with this burn to send.

Lead
There’s gotta be motion ‘cause there always was time,
But maybe we should be more clear about what we define,
It’s hard to make a point or point to why,
But it’s pointless unless you try,
There’s gotta be motion ‘cause there always was time,
But maybe we should be more clear about what we define,
It’s hard to make a point or point to why,
But it’s pointless unless you try.

Chorus
We shouldn’t talk about what we don’t know,
I know we can,
But we should refrain,
Relax and take a break,
We shouldn’t talk about what we don’t know,
I know we can,
But we should refrain,
Relax and take a break.

Bridge
Come on,
You know what the funny part is?
I never took physics in high school.

Lead
There’s gotta be motion ‘cause there always was time,
But maybe we should be more clear about what we define,
It’s hard to make a point or point to why,
But it’s pointless unless you try,
There’s gotta be motion ‘cause there always was time,
But maybe we should be more clear about what we define,
It’s hard to make a point or point to why,
But it’s pointless unless you try.

Chorus
We shouldn’t talk about what we don’t know,
I know we can,
But we should refrain,
Relax and take a break,
We shouldn’t talk about what we don’t know,
I know we can,
But we should refrain,
Relax and take a break.

Lead
There’s gotta be motion ‘cause there always was time,
But maybe we should be more clear about what we define,
It’s hard to make a point or point to why,
But it’s pointless unless you try,
There’s gotta be motion ‘cause there always was time,
But maybe we should be more clear about what we define,
It’s hard to make a point or point to why,
But it’s pointless unless you try.

Chorus
We shouldn’t talk about what we don’t know,
I know we can,
But we should refrain,
Relax and take a break,
We shouldn’t talk about what we don’t know,
I know we can,
But we should refrain,
Relax and take a break.
