lyrics

To the power of x,
you never seen it before,
much less solved it,
but you’re like fo-sho,
‘Cause you have ideas that won’t be denied,
You take the xth root of both sides,
But you’re scratching your head, ‘cause that didn’t help,
If the object is to get the x all by itself!

You see,
the only way to get that exponent down to earth,
for what it’s worth, there’s nothing worse,
And it is called inverse.

In this case the Logarithm’s your hearse,
use Napier’s curse to help you switch it around,
And move that exponent a whole six feet under the ground.

So use it, abuse it, apply it, remove it.
Use it, abuse it, apply it, remove it.

So why is it there - still?
Looking down laughing, deriding while you’re
crying buckets over your spilled poten-
Shall you stand this power drilling into your mind,
Kinda like the fleeting feeling that you’re dealing with Pi-
rotechnic visions of a exponential monster unwind.

Untie the lies of your lofty tormentor,
resent the disguise and embrace the inventor:
Here’s Johnny with a mantra that will cut to the center
As HE applies the inverse - exponential descenter.

Clear your mind, lift the fog,
the base of the power is the base of the log.

Clear your mind, lift the fog,
The base of the power is the base of the log.
The base of the power is the base of the log.
The base of the power is the base of the log.
The base of the power is the base of the log.

No more exponential messes for you, the essential message to you,
Be the change you want to see, apply Logs to both sides of the
Equation that’s distressing, and oppressing and depressing,
And after all the messing, and the stressing, and the testing.
I suppose logs are a blessing, but they maybe not the best thing.
