The Quantum Beats play at the MIT Physics Departments 2nd annual "Physics Rocks" concert on March 30, 2011. Our closer is a song we wrote about the Higgs Boson, referred to frequently in popular media as the "God Particle." Songwriting credits go to the Quantum Beats, copyright 2011, all rights reserved.

Lyrics:

If you're a sinner and you've lost your way
In that deep dark forest and its nettles and twigs
Take a listen to almighty wisdom
Leave your soul to my God, named Higgs

Stop your lyin' and stop your cheatin'
Drop the dice, and put down that bottle
let me show you to my savior
he's the savior of the standard model

My god is a spinless boson
he belongs to a doublet, not no trinity
and you can find him between a hundred
and a hundred and eighty five GeV

I've been searching for my savior
through all those pp to jet events
over the data mountains, through the cross-section valley
when I find him I will rest

When I die, I want my soul to flutter
Before that great big heavenly control panel
Where I will know, I will know my savior
By his semi-leptonic decay channel

So come all you wayward physicists
Who study the solid state to the CMB
You're in need of a little churchin'
So get on up to our cathedral, the LHC
