lyrics

Intro
Yo, come on,
Here we go now,
Lucretius,
This is the Nature of Things,
So I’m asking,
Where is void?
Come on,
Where is void?
Come on.

Verse
Don’t you understand the idea of displacement?
Matter can move if there’s something to replace it,
The world wouldn’t have to be completely solid,
Call it what you want, but you’re just totally wrong,
With every page I turn, there’s nothing I learn,
Except Lucretius is a dumbass, a one act not earned,
Here’s the nature of things, blah, blah, blah,
Feeding us bullshit without any thought.

Lead
So whatchu got, Lucretius?
Tell me why I should buckle down and believe this,
So whatchu got, Lucretius?
‘Cause the Nature of Things never should’ve been written.

Chorus
So tell me where void has to be?
So tell me where void has to be?
‘Cause it’s just something I cannot see,
‘Cause it’s just something I cannot see,
And maybe you know more than me,
And maybe you know more than me,
But why should I have to believe?
But why should I have to believe?

Bridge
Where is void?
Come on,
Where is void?
Come on.

Verse
You don’t address your critics when they prove you wrong,
You give an explanation that’s repetitive and long,
If a fish is swimming in the deep blue sea,
Tell me where the hell does void have to be?
All you say is that the fish could not move,
‘Cause the water is solid and wouldn’t make room,
So why is that true? I’m asking you,
Explain if you can, a right answer is due.

Lead
So whatchu got, Lucretius?
Tell me why I should buckle down and believe this,
So whatchu got, Lucretius?
‘Cause the Nature of Things never should’ve been written.

Chorus
So tell me where void has to be?
So tell me where void has to be?
‘Cause it’s just something I cannot see,
‘Cause it’s just something I cannot see,
And maybe you know more than me,
And maybe you know more than me,
But why should I have to believe?
But why should I have to believe?

Bridge
Where is void?
Come on,
Where is void?
Come on,
Where is void?
Come on,
Oh, there it is!

Chorus
So tell me where void has to be?
So tell me where void has to be?
‘Cause it’s just something I cannot see,
‘Cause it’s just something I cannot see,
And maybe you know more than me,
And maybe you know more than me,
But why should I have to believe?
But why should I have to believe?
