And that old devil arithmetic It's conquered And it's our common belief That math Should be abolished That old nemesis science It's done for And in the dead of the night We plot and we scheme For it to be defeated And the world Should run On magic The world Should run On magic And that old rogue that makes me run I'd rather roam through the chapters Alone With my snitch book lamp I admit My vivid imagination Explores the dense woods and forests Of bleak possibilities I wish the world breathed life in magic I wish the world breathed life in magic The world Should run On magic The world Should run On magic (The world) logarithms, probability (Should run) periodic tables (On magic) calculus, permutation hemispheres, decomposition (The world) flagellum, kinesis (Should run) metric system, fermentation (On magic) genetics, hydrocarbon I'm so sick of maths and science! The world Should run On magic The world Should run On magic The world Should run On magic The world Should run On magic The world Should run on Magic!
