This next song takes something that's not that fun, math, and makes it offensive. | |
It's New Math. | |
What's a pirate minus the ship? | |
Just a creative homeless guy. | |
And an anteater plus a large, hungry mutant ant? | |
An ironic way to die. | |
What's domain, domain range? [X,XY] | |
A kid with too much in his pants. | |
Two balls minus one? | |
Seven titles at the Tour de France. [Cancer] | |
It gets worse. | |
Yeah, split a decision with long division, | |
Take the circumference of your circumcision. | |
Live like your data and when you're all set, | |
Put it all together and whatever you get | |
It's New Math. | |
And what's a bag of chips divided by five? | |
Well that's a Nike worker's meal. | |
And Santa Claus multiplied by 'i'? | |
Well, I guess that makes him real. | |
And the square root of the NBA? | |
Is Africa in a box. | |
How do you trace a scatter plot? | |
You give the pencil to Michael J. Fox. | |
(Whatever.) | |
Take the approximate moral proportion, | |
Of the probable problem of a pro-life abortion. | |
Live like your data and when you're all set, | |
Put it all together and whatever you get | |
It's New, It's New, It's New, It's New, It's New Math. | |
And if you took a factor tree, | |
Of the factors that caused my girl to leave me, | |
You'd have a tree, full of Asian porn. | |
C-A-L, C-U lator, mathematical minds cause industrial smog. | |
And what's the opposite of ln(x), Duraflame the unnatural log. | |
Support the farmers with a pro-tractor, | |
Link Kennedy and Lincoln with a common fact-or, | |
Live like your data and when you're all set, | |
Put it all together and whatever you get | |
It's New, It's New, It's New... | |
Alright word problems, ready? | |
If there's a fat guy in a pastry shop, with a twenty-dollar bill and he's ready to buy, | |
In order to predict his volume change, you'll need to know the value of pie. [π 'pi'] | |
And there's a metal train that's a mile long and at the very back end a lightning bolt struck her, | |
How long 'til it reaches and kills the driver, provided that he is a good conductor? [An electrical and train condutor.] | |
And if ten percent of men are gay, twenty percent of men are Chinese, | |
What are the odds of a man chosen at random spends his free-time and meal-time while on his knees? | |
And if Kim is half as old as Bobby, who is two years older than twelve-year old Tory, | |
For how many more thirty-day months will their threesomes be considered statutory rape? | |
'Cause Math can be sexy. | |
'Cause having sex is like quadratic expansion, | |
If it can't be split then it's time to stop. | |
And having sex is like you're doing fractions, | |
It's improper for the larger one to be on top, yeah. | |
And having sex is like math homework, | |
I do it best when I'm alone in my bed. | |
And squaring numbers are just like women, | |
If they're under thirteen, just do them in your head. | |
And New Math. |
This next song takes something that' s not that fun, math, and makes it offensive. | |
It' s New Math. | |
