Furious Numbers

All the answers bright and new
There is so much more to do
We do paint the oceans blue
A brave new world for me and you

Too many words to write
Too many books to read
Too many genes to splice
Too many animals to feed

Where are the notes I wrote
Where are the thoughts I had
Where was my wife tonight
Why does this mouse look sad?

I have to clean the mess
I have to pay the bills
I have to focus less
I have to take more pills

I need to work harder
I think I'm going mad
I need to make this test
Is there a monkey dead?

All the answers bright and new
There is so much more to do
We do paint the oceans blue
A brave new world for me and you
