V1

there once was
a little unit called "gram"
no, not the CRACKERbutWHEN
it comes to measuring it yes she can

she comes in kilos, millis
centis, metric system has'er
you think she's not important
but yes she matters



PRE-CHORUS

all she wanted was to assess some mass
but stupid gravity came to harass (her)

now my twizzlers bag says it ways a pound
if i brought it to the moon
then it'd weigh much less, i've found


CHORUS

they couldn't tell me up-front
they didn't tell me enough
the little gram was given the brush off

and now she's dead in the twizzler factory
i would have preferred her
and that's mass murder



V2

i would like
to blame the concept of weight
two's a crowd and
we're having trouble keeping them straight

boxes should know that weight
refers not to mass but to force
is our capacity to change
limited by an inertial source



PRE-CHORUS

all she wanted was to assess some mass
but stupid gravity came to harass (her)

now my lucky charms are sixteen ounces
floating in space it'd weigh sixteeeen less



CHORUS

they couldn't tell me up-front
they didn't tell me enough
the little gram was given the brush off

and now she's dead in the lucky factory
i would have preferred her
and that's mass murder
