Science is the most (Remastered)

[MOLECULES - SATB Chorus] Science is a most truly wonderful thing Too bad its music is not for the general public’s ears The glory of the rhythm, the psalms as they swell and sing The public cannot hear without the training of many years [SMITH - a male bass voice] We need to attract the best, smartest I think we should begin in elementary schools We need to find those who work the hardest If we don’t focus young, then we are all fools We must agree on the onward upward march of man Helps to win the national, global economic race? This upward rush, the lengthening of our mortal span? Is itself built upon a solid science base [DIANE -a female pop soprano voice] If science is such a wonderful matter Why then, do people now each day succumb Their lonely hearts in shatters Do they fail for want of a simple morsel or crumb? Science is chained to the money that government flaunts Not only government but also that of industry No, science is tuned to what society wants Scientists held in monetary captivity [SMITH - a male bass voice] So, you would argue that science is prey to relativity I deny this. All but science must grow old. Are our questions and verifications arbitrary? No, only philosophies, cities, works of art turn cold But facts, once found, do not change. This..is..the..truth, which the public must be made to support Each fact an edifice on which theories we arrange. This.. Is.. The.. Truth that we should one and all exhort. [MOLECULES - SATB Chorus] Science is a most truly wonderful thing Too bad its music is not for the general public’s ears. The glory of the rhythm, the psalms as they swell and sing The public cannot hear without the training of years [SOAMES - a male bass voice] For discussion, let us presume, to our lot One might say from the societal point of view No overweening social significance can we spot But the world’s a better place when all their dreams pursue Our job should be to train these young foals To mold malleable minds so fresh and keen While tending to our own goals To touch the sky and see the unseen. [SMITH - a male bass voice] Science is a must for our community Lucky us, a game we get to play A wonderful kind of immunity When engaged in a scientific foray And so, I submit to you once again [TRIO of DIANE, SMITH, and SOAMES] We need to attract the best, smartest I think we should begin in elementary schools We need to find those who work the hardest If we don’t focus young, then we are all fools [MOLECULES - SATB a cappella Chorus] Science is a most truly wonderful thing Too bad its music is not for the general public’s ears The glory of the rhythm, the psalms as they swell and sing The public cannot hear without the training of years
