Two scientists were racing for the good of all mankind
Both of them side by side so determined
Locked in heated battle for the cure that is their prize
But it's so dangerous but they're determined

Theirs is to win if it kills them
They're just humans with wives and children

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high
Under the microscope, hope against hope
Forging for the future but to sacrifice their lives
Both of them side by side so determined

Theirs is to win if it kills them
They're just humans with wives and children

Theirs is to win if it kills them
They're just humans with wives and children

The dissonant instrumental sections of this are actually hurting my ears. This seems to have a lot of fans, so great -- enjoy -- that's the magic of RP! But for me, it's a 1.

This song always kicks off with a "HELL YEAH THIS SONG! LOVE IT!" and then the vocals come in and for a brief moment I'd be thinking "huh...did old Neil do a modern collaboration I forgot about...?" and then I go look who it actually is and remember it's the Flaming Lips.
Brings me back to those insane days of music festivals in the hot summer sun and free time on our hands and lots of head space for enjoying the moment and 'feeling' the freedom of music.
