Scientists in Japan

Sara Groves Song Lyrics

Songwriters: Andy Gullahorn, Sara Groves

Scientists in Japan are building a robot to take your job
Doctors in France are growing a heart that will save your mom
Eyes wide open, and your jaw on the floor
We see science fiction ain't fiction no more

There's a meeting of minds slowly designing our future days
Back at the office they're running some copies from the DNA
We rob from Peter to extend Paul's life
Cause dying ain’t no way to die

Who's gonna stay here and think about it
Who's gonna stay, who's gonna stay
Who's gonna stay here and think about it
Who's gonna stay
Everybody's left the room
There's no one here to talk it through
Now stay, stay, stay

Set machines in motion, just to set machines in motion, just to watch em roll
There's no destination in sight just the rhythm of a barcarole
Don't know where we're going, but we've got the means
Put a front load washer in our time machine

Who's gonna stay here and think about it
Who's gonna stay, who's gonna stay
Who's gonna stay here and think about it
Who's gonna stay
Everybody's left the room
There's no one here to talk it through
Now stay, stay, stay

Eyes wide open and your jaw on the floor
We see science fiction ain’t fiction no more

Who's gonna stay here and think about it
Who's gonna stay, who's gonna stay
Who's gonna stay here and think about it
Who's gonna stay
Everybody's left the room
There's no one here to talk it through
Now stay, stay, stay

Scientists in Japan,
Scientists in Japan...
