Scientists In Japan

Sara Groves · Invisible Empires [2011]

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...
