Bad Science

[Verse 1]
Moms and dads break up their bands
And take away their roller skates
Give them algebra and trig
Raisins, dates, or figs
But take away the gingerbread and cake

[Chorus]
Every husband, every wife, every cop, every teacher
Everybody do the taking away
Do the taking away
Every law, every curfew, ever Bible-branded textbook
Watch the kiddies do the breaking away
They'll do the breaking away

[Verse 2]
Moms and dads say no more bands
No side projects, no solo careers
No young love, no kissing fish, no pets at all, no fun
And I think we've had enough art
I think we've had enough art, Mr. Marx

[Chorus]
Every molecule, every atom, every single particle down to the quark
Do the breaking apart
Every molecule, every atom, every single particle down to the quark
Do the breaking apart

[Bridge]
No skateboards, no swimming pools
Until you've finished your state-approved chemistry
Kid, break it down to the electron and quark
And please tell us what happens when the particles spark

[Chorus]
Every molecule, every atom, every single particle down to the quark
Do the breaking apart
Every molecule, every atom, every single particle down to the quark
Do the breaking apart
