He was working in a little patent office in Bern
He was getting kinda desperate for a living to earn
He couldn't get a job with the education he had
In fact, as a student he was really pretty bad
He wanted to live with the woman he loved
You had to get married back in 1905
He was bummed out, stressed out, wondering what it's all about
Had a problem with the Universe no one else had figured out
Science
He was thinking up a storm
Science
He knew he's getting warm
Science
Picking through the clues
Science
With his radical views

Longing for understanding is eternal (Einstein said)
Longing for understanding is eternal (Einstein said)
Don't want to be left alone
Don't want to be left alone

He found some flaws in the physics of Newton
He thought that maybe he could make a little contribution
Everybody knows the rest of Einstein's story
But here's a little part of it they're always ignoring
The secret of the Theory of Relativity is:
I'm related to you and you're related to me
There gotta be a difference in what each one see
But there ain't no "I" if there ain't no "we"!
Science
he really made a dent
Science
in how we see the firmament
Science
And now it's time to face the fact
Science
we gotta change the way we act
