Cursive - Bad science

Moms and Dads break up their games
And take away their rollerskates.
Give them algebra and trig
Raisins, dates, or figs,
but take away gingerbread and cake.

Every husband, every wife
Every cop, every teacher
Everybody, do the taking away
Do the taking away

And every law, every curfew
Every bible read
Every teacher who's watching the kid who's still there breaking away
Do they break it away

Moms and dads say no more bands
No sideprojects, no solo careers
No young love, no kissing fish
No pets at all, no fun
And I think
I think I've had enough of it
I think I've had enough of these remarks

Every molecule, every atom
Every single particle down to the quark
Until they break it apart
Every molecule, every atom
Every single particle down to the quark
Until they break it apart

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

Every molecule, every atom
Every single particle down to the quark
Until they break it apart
Every molecule, every atom
Every single particle down to the quark
Until they break it apart
