Calling off the Experiment Lyrics

I'm calling off the experiment

Ditching all the research

I'm calling off the experiment

Because it's not going to work

I'm tired of the hours, the overnighters

Petri dishes and chrome

Talk about monkeys and typewriters

Everybody go home

Goodnight, Goodnight

Will the last one out please turn off the lights?

I'm calling off the experiment

Forget the Nobel Prize

If anyone checks, it's evident

The data's falsified

No we haven't achieved our goals

Yes we're giving in

We're just a small cog in the Dog eat Dogma

World we're living in

Goodnight, Goodnight

Will the last one out please turn off the lights?

But please leave on the furnace

Put money in the meter too

And don't turn off the life support systems

Next time, it could be you

Or someone who

Can cure you

The man with the head of a hen needs feeding

And the cats need cigarettes

The plant with human DNA needs weeding

And the rat's playing Russian roulette

I'm calling off the experiment

Ditching an empty lab

Leave the bunsen burners burning

Take anything that you can grab

I'm calling off the experiment

Ditching all the research

I'm calling off the experiment

Because it's not going to work

Goodnight, Goodnight

Will the last one out, please turn off the lights?
