Fall!

I've got work
I cannot sleep tonight
Until this problem's right
Time wasted, what a fright
I should have done this yester-night

Exploding sticks of dynamite
Send kittens flying to a height
Proportional to square root (g)
To solve for v, just plug in t

Each one of these problems makes me angry and sour
As I work them, hour after hour
My name is Olin, your time's devoured
Can I get just a little bit of power

Power of Lagrangians
To Newton I won't make amends
I minimize from end to end
The power of Lagrangians

Right or wrong, my proof is strong
You don't like it, get along
Do what I want, turn in what I can
Death to the writing from the graders' hand

I don't get quadratic drag
This useless crap we've never had
On problems sets, in class, in life
Yet on the test, it cause' me strife

Cosine's even, sine is odd
e to the i phi, laid down by God
My name is force, show me which hour
Where I'm gonna maximize my power

Power of Lagrangians
To Newton I won't make amends
I minimize from end to end
The power of Lagrangians

I've got force, I've got constraint
You think you'll solve me? Damn that's quaint
You'll find out soon that know one knows
The answer to this SHO

Not another stupid old crazy kitten
Falling straight down, crushin' all my ambitions.
What I'd give for a weekend free
To get some sleep, live life for me

I think I'm done, I'll hand it in
Head to 3rd Olin, put it in the bin
But when I check my math I start to glower
I'd probably fix it I had some more power

Power of Lagrangians
To Newton I won't make amends
I minimize from end to end
The power of Lagrangians

Huddled 'round a mac up in two-eleven
Using N-D-Solve to find the expression
For the double-pendulum swinging round its joint
Man, WTF's the equilibrium point?

When I talk to girls, they turn and laugh
I wish I could do something other than math
What to do? What to say? How to interact?
I might as well bust out some physics-y facts

"Did you see, last week, x-k-c-d
they made a physics joke...it was funny"
I'm awkward as hell, not cool or witty
If I make it with a girl its out of pity


Taylor series, can you dig it
An approximation will get near it
My trebutchet is not my friend
Cause It'll break before it bends
All this physics is insanity
Whatever happened to humanity
Whatever happened to humanity
Whatever happened to humanity
