Stuck in a lab rut - Some alternative lyrics for U2 (Dec/04/2007 )

I’m not surprised
Of anything in this world
There’s nothing published new
That I haven’t already heard of
I’m just trying to find
A decent theory
A thesis I can prove
My responsibility

I never though we were fools
But colleague, look at you
You gotta sit on your ass, and never stop to ask
Cause PCRs are going nowhere, baby

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a lab rut
And now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a lab rut
And you can’t get out of it

I will not forsake
The samples that you bring
The evenings filled with work
That leave me with nothing
I am still impressed
By the papers I’ve read with glee
I’d like to see them through
To write one right for me

And I am such a fool
To worry like I do
I know it's tough
And I can never get enough
Of what is usually screwed up
So badly, my oh my...

Feel the same!
