Lyrics:
(modified from Kanye West)

Work it, make it, do it, 
Makes us harder, better, faster, stronger

Now that don't kill me,
Can only make me stronger.
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer.
I know I got to be right now
'Cause I can't get much wronger.
Man, I been waitin' all night now,
That's how long I've been on ya.

I need you right now,
I need you right now.

What is the cause of my fright?
How can I find the flaws in my fight?
What keeps me working in the jaws of the lab through the night?
Are we even getting these climate models right?
Is this an issue we can afford to ignore?
I don't think we can wait anymore.
I ask 'cause I'm not sure,
Are you waiting for someone to open the door?
Is this something you're willing to put the cash in?
Is this something you think will drive your passion?
Is climate change gunna go out of fashion?
For Mother Earth do we have any compassion?
Look for the right words for persuasian
Look for parameters for the equations
Uh, baby, we're makin' climate models
Harder, better, faster, stronger,

Now that don't kill me,
Can only make me stronger, oh!
I need you to hurry up now, oh!
'Cause I can't wait much longer, oh!
I know I got to be right now, oh!
'Cause I can't get much wronger, oh!
Man, I been waitin' all night now,
That's how long I've been on ya.

I need you right now,
I need you right now.

We've got to form a key alliance
We've got to bring business into compliance
I've got to publish lots in Science
Don't act like I never told ya.
Don't act like I never told ya.
Don't act like I never told ya.
Don't act like I never told ya.
Don't act like I never told ya.

Ugh, baby, you're makin' it 
Harder, better, faster, stronger.

Now that don't kill me,
Can only make me stronger.
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer.
I know I got to be right now
'Cause I can't get much wronger.
Man, I been waitin' all night now, 
That's how long I've been on ya.

I need you right now,
I need you right now,
I need you right now,
I need you right now.

Good luck with this, Josh. You've given me some stiff competition with your mad poppin and lockin skills. BTW, I went to Berkeley undergrad so I still feel some solidarity. -Clarissa
