We’re in the house of science [1]
Yeah, I know that’s right
We’re in the house of science
And this is what a powerful scientist looks like
Jump, Jump, Jump into science. [2]
Jump Jump …. into science
I came into this game with a hunger
Feeding on the matrix of underlying numbers
Yo, I know when to rock, and I know when to rest it
I got the hypothesis and the method to test it
Right about now they goanna try to divide us [3]
gotta focus on the science inside us
Quit talking yo yo yo believe this … it’s a fact [4]
I’m talking show me the data (Yeah, how about that)
Minute after minute, hour after hour, [5]
science is knowledge and knowledge is power.
Science can be wrong but wait a minute longer.
Science just learned now science got stronger.
We make connection, we disprove fiction
We got the method with the power of prediction
We use prediction formulate the plan
Can I predict it? … yes you can. [6]
We’re in the house of science Yeah, I know that’s right
And this is what a powerful scientist looks like [REPEAT X4]
Jump, Jump, Jump …. into science. H’ah!
Jump into science
Look, if you had one opportunity to understand the universe, would you do it or just let it slip? [7]
Think that you can break the physical laws? I doubt it.
Think you can step with a good question? How about it? [8]
Science, alliance, to test the truth
And I’m dropping the publicly verifiable proof.
Like I drop the base and all the high frequencies
Spectral diversity brings out the freak in me
Gotta gotta get it … get it to you now
turn it around with the peer review. [9]
Minute after minute, time don’t stop
science seeking truth, got the power on lock.
Yeah, we might slip, but give it some time.
Science gets higher, always on climb
We make connections, we disprove fiction (d’ah!)
We got the method with the power of prediction
We use prediction formulate the plan
Can I predict it? … hell yes you can.
We’re in the house of science Yeah, I know that’s right
And this is what a powerful scientist looks like [REPEAT X4]
Jump, Jump, Jump …. into science.
Jump into science [REPEAT X3]

Dedicated in loving memory of John Gerlach, who never lost the beautiful vision of how music and science could benefit humanity. The aim is to fuel citizen scientists to develop scientific powers organically. It’s too often forgotten that one need not be a professional scientist to think scientifically form hypothesis test a hypothesis use the result to make future predictions. Anyone can start small and grow big: form and test a hypothesis to then benefit from predictive power, stay humble and always question.
