The future is so important, this is a ballad
Of a country music nerd
The science of speed or greed
Tommie Smith joined the Opry
Allow me to say
On black and white TV
Access and denial
(A-hole) Access and denial
The science of speed
This shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-Nanas
Tommie smith
Broke a cinder block wall
The science of speed
The silent gesture
We can resist
A man chokes to death
The future is so important
I never threw a rock
Or hid my hand
The roof ain't fixed
Till the ceiling’s dry
Bust my buttons
Kick my ass
A beggar’s blanket
The big playback
The science of speed
Is like a candle on a log
Just a lighter shade of blue
I hope you’re sitting down
Your truth will set you on fire
You’re beautiful
The wild generation
A stranger has come to me now
We can resist
That’s music
