about

Title track, all about gravity and inertia!

lyrics

There’s no vacation from gravity,
It acts on every object that you see.
It’s the force of nature, that keeps us on the ground,
It’s the reason that the earth keeps on spinning round & round.
And gravity is not just a good idea,
It’s the law, la-la-la-la.

Gravity’s a force that never tires,
It has no need for batteries or wires.
The force keeps pulling twenty-four hours a day.
It never takes a coffee break, so things don’t float away.
And gravity is not just a good idea,
It’s the law, la-la-la-la.

Inertia is the tendency to move,
When your body is already in the groove.
And when your body is happily at rest,
Newton’s Law of Motion says to stay there is the best.
And inertia is not just a good idea,
It’s the law, la-la-la-la.

I’ve been fighting inertia for too long,
Whichever way I go, it seems all wrong.
When I want to stop, something makes me have to go.
Or I’d start up right away, but inertia makes me slow.
And inertia is not just a good idea,
It’s the law, la-la-la-la.

Newton discovered the laws of gravity,
One day while sitting underneath an apple tree.
An apple fell and hit him squarely on the head,
But instead of getting mad, he hypothesized instead.
Now gravity is not just a good idea,
It’s the law, la-la-la-la.
And inertia is not just a good idea,
It’s the law, la-la-la-la.

Gravity is not just a good idea,
It’s the law, la-la-la-la.
And inertia is not just a good idea,
It’s the law, la-la-la-la.
La-la-la la-la-la la-la-la la-la-la la-la-la
