just wanted to give Magenta credit and a well deserved place in Ye Olde Songfight Lyric Archive....

What we need more of is Science
words by Fluffy Porcupine
music by Brody

Here comes a special little boy
He is a stuffed otter toy
We don't know how he's alive
But with science he will survive
He's never been to the moon
But he might go there real soon
His friend Roast Beef loved it up there
Even with the lack of air

I hope he will be my friend
Every day until the end
But I don't know if he'll be mine
An experiment, this thing we'll find
The control is let him be
Test conditions, we have three
Hug him, hurt him, and one more
Take him into bed and snore

Record results, hypothesize
Form conclusions, avoid lies
With science we can all see
If Phillipe is meant for me

"What We Need More Of Is Science" by Milwaukee Youth Center Choir

when i tried to sabotage you
only ever prayed for your demise
how foolish of me
to think your destruction would rain from the sky
i wasted time in wishing
that all of this was through
i should be using my brain to think of
a method to obliterate the real you

I need a hypothesis
I need a proof of theorum
I need you gone forever
amd there is no simple serum
step into my laboratory
I'm through with voodoo dolls
It's time we split the atom
That was once deemed indivisible

"What we need more of is science"

What is spring if you didn't have a summer?
What's inside the brain of the Homestar Runner?
What does it take to get some coffee flavored coffee?
Would this track exist if it weren't for Hank Shocklee?

I don't know, and I wouldn't want to guess
but, I'm gonna take a crack at a weak hypothesis.

Questions like these may have a solution
But I can't find the answers with the formula I'm using.
Secrets like the special sauce on a Big Mac
But, before codes can be cracked....

What we need more of is science
What we need more of is science

What is a tape if you can't rewind it?
Using Dolby B could you ever be blinded?
Message hidden there, but will anybody find it?
What's homework if a teacher won't assign it?

The airplane's landing, so better open wide.
Count the number of the references that are all inside.

I'm making this track but should I submit it?
It's 1 A.M., maybe it's time to quit it.
Last minute track, 9:59 deadline
How can I do this simultaneously with bedtime?

What we need more of is science.
What we need more of is science.
What we need more of is science.
What we need more of is science.

Squirrel vs. Bear - What we need more of is Science.

I'll be damned! 90% of the matter is missing!
Ain't it amazing? Science!
Weakly interacting massive particles... but the matter is missing!

[ken]

It's that special time again: a Charcoal sing-a-long, for mature audiences only!

If we had more astronomy I could get back to the moon and live alone up in outer space and never leave my room. With better pharmacology I wouldn't be depressed, I take fourteen Paxil every day and I'm still a fucking mess- help me, science!

I've never kissed a lady and I've never had a date. On Friday nights I surf the web for porn and masturbate. Code all day in Java and I'd never get enough, but the one thing that I need more of is science.

With better, cheaper plastics I could afford a kevlar vest; I'm starting to get tired of taking bullets in the chest. With artificial intelligence I'd build a robot I could wed; I'd love to check my email while we're gettin' it on in bed.

WHAT WE NEED MORE OF, IS SCIENCE (Roast Beef's Theme)
by JBB

This song is sung from Roast Beef's point of view. He is a tragic character, well-imagined and memorable. I have linked the lines which were inspired by Achewood to their respective specific strips.

we've got enough love to rule the world
got enough cool to win the girl
got enough food to feed the poor
got enough hate to win the war

we've got enough trees to see the woods
got enough lies to sell the goods
got enough will to make the shoulds
got enough time to find the coulds

What we need more of is science
What we need more of is science
What we need more of is SCIENCE

got a big rocket to reach the moon
got enough fuel to see you soon
got a T-3 inside of me
gotta be who I wanna be

make my heart light as a feather
make my mind control the weather
what can bring us all together
I can't stand to be without her

trying not to hear what the robot said
trying not to cry when I'm in my bed
trying not to go where I'm being led
baby I won't quit 'til I'm ten times dead

what we need more of is science
what we need more of is science
what we need more of is SCIENCE

howdy...
What we need more of is science
A kid named Ace


and you tried
to make me see the light
and you tried
to show me something right
handed down
a gift to ease your mind
the hope you found
in a package full of lies


still i wonder why
you don't realize
all you've known
is from a story someone told
wanting to define
divine


and i tried
to give you something real
and i tried
to show what faith conceals
i believed
you'd wake up and move on
but in the end
somehow you chose wrong


so i'll say goodbye
and i'll leave you
here alone
waiting still with both eyes closed
looking for some kind
of sign


there's the end
or is there something more
could you stand
the change that you've ignored
nothing else
through with guided lives
none above
only you and i

What We Need More Of Is Science by bluefour

Apparently what we need more of is science.

Achewood!
Achewood!

Achewood is a highly amusing online comic strip. It features various animals partaking in a variety of humorous activities. Its website features merchandise, a message board, and fan art among other things. The regular black and white strip is free to view. The color strip is featured in a subscription based site.

Achewood features several feline characters. One is a questionably dressed party guy. One is an uptight meany. The third is an insecure computer programmer. When he sleeps, he dreams of giant apocalyptic machinery. Mowing us all down.

MACHINERY!
MOWING US ALL DOWN!
MACHINERY!
MOWING US ALL DOWN!
ROAST!
BEEF!
ROAST!
BEEF!

Umm.. what happened to the instructions to the drum machine? Uh.. I think Philippe is standing on them.

I don't want to be a scientist!
But what about me? I'm no Edison or Einstein!

Science is fun!
Chemistry, biology, and physics.
Astronomy.
Radiology.
Electrical and chemical engineering.

Living in the scientific age, we need citizens who know enough about science to make intelligent decisions about what they do.

SCIENCE IS FUN!

extra credit's "what we need more of is science"

attract and repel, attract and repel
i've studied my math, but that didn't help
only science can explain the chemical reaction,
only science clarifies our opposite attraction

after reading, writing and 'rithmatic
i've found just one subject that's legit
only science can explain my love for you,
only science tells what polar opposites will do

ch:
i was never good with numbers, but now i know
some algebra; "I" minus "U" equals zero
and i'm no shakespeare, but english proves to me
that absence makes the heart miss the "I" in "we"
in case you still wondered, scientific theories
support my conclusion that you still belong with me
so as long as opposites attract, i think you'll agree that
what we need more of is science


attract and repel, repel and attract
all of these textbooks are breaking my back
only science can explain the chemical reaction
only science clarifies our opposite attraction

so right now i'm already pretty confident
that if you read up, you'll soon be convinced
that science explains why we were meant to be
science can clarify why you're the one for me

by MC Hawking

Verse 1
I'm a disciple of science
I know the universe is compliance with natural laws,
but many place reliance on the psuedo-science of quacks and
morons and fools because,
their educations deficient,
they put faith in omniscient,
make believe beings who control their fate,
but the Hawk aint with it, dig it,
their Holy writ aint the least bit legit,
its a bunch of bullshit.

They need to read a book that ain't so damn old old,
let reason take hold,
though truth to be told,
they're probably already too far gone,
withdrawn, the conclusion foregone.
But maybe there is still hope for the young,
if they reject the dung being slung from the tongues,
of the ignorant fools who call themselves preachers,
and listen instead to their science teachers.

Chorus
Upon blind faith they place reliance,
what we need more of is science!

Trash Talk
Uh yeah, that's right!
Fundamentalist assholes!
Screw the hole lot of them.

Verse 2
Look, I ain't thomas Dolby,
science doesn't blind me,
think you're smart? Form a line behind me,
you won't find me, truth to tell,
to be a man who suffers fools very well.
Quite the opposite in fact,
I aint got time to interact,
with crystal wearing freaks in need of a smack.
New age motherfuckers? Don't get me started,
I made more sense than them, last time I farted.

Not to put too fine a point upon it,
but the whole new age movement is full of shit.
Please allow me to elaborate,
explicate, expatiate.
from astral projection to zygomancy its a,
mish mash of idiocy.
Instead of the archaic worship of seasons,
they should explore logic and reason.

Chorus

Trash Talk
Fucking new-agers!
Is there any amount of bullshit they won't swallow?
It's two-thousand-aught-three goddammit!
When are these morons gonna join us in the 21st century?

Jon Eric - What We Need More of is Science

I was barefoot in the street
Walking over broken glass
Taking coins from visitors
And those that happened by to pass

(Chorus)
We live in an age it's getting harder to be pious
When the preacher's preaching to his empty halls
In an age where what we need more of is science
You will find me tapestried up on the walls

I saw you drowning in the lake
And had to save your mortal soul
But when i touched my mouth to yours
Was nothing else I could control

(Chorus)

(Outro, sung as a round for three repetitions)
I left you for a double-helix
In the dark where I can't feel it
When you're ending, it's impending
Like a fall from grace
(fin)

What we need more of is Science
by moboid

What we need - what we need

Don't need more passion
It's out of season
Don't need more fashion
Just give me reason

What we need more of
What we need more of
IS SCIENCE

What we need - what we need
What we need - what we need
What we need - what we need
IS SCIENCE

Don't need no contact
Don't need more piety
You need to subtract
In our society

What we need more of
What we need more of
What we need more of
IS SCIENCE

High Density's "Space Cadet"
(High Density = futureboy + moboid)

V.1
They say I've got a thousand-yard stare
Seeing places that aren't even there
Entire worlds inside of my head
Silicon creatures breathe iron instead.
Even though it's all imaginary
In my mind i'm very planetary

V.2
Some day I'll visit the moons of venus
And meet beings who've never seen us.
My travel speed is exponential.
My future lives up to its potential.
But nowhere in my mind can compare
To the planet that I go and find you there

Chorus
The world is so starry
But the air's thin out here
Its not easy to breathe
And even harder to steer
So is that your voice I hear inside my set
or am i just a space cadet?

V.3
I'm going places nobody goes
I went so far I found a black hole
I got too close to the edge of the funnel
Now the whole world looks like a tunnel
I'm gonna go back before we met
Then I won't have to be a space cadet

Chorus

Chorus 2
I turn up the dial
So i can monitor my heart
When you're out here in space
You need every little part
So is that your voice I hear inside my set
or am i just a space cadet?
