It's the science of sound
A generation raised by the NES
The kids on the block were all screaming, "Hell yes!"
Squares and triangles: shapes in a melody
And we were finally free
White noise is where it's at for a snappy beat
With ones and zeros that make us move our feet
The TV speakers might break up, but we don't mind
We know the notes line for line
All alone with the tube and a system
And I couldn't help but to sing
So raise your hands
Raise your hands
Raise your hands
It's the science of sound
Mashing buttons with the greatest of timing
With the sounds of our power-ups chiming
It was more like a dance than it was a game
They'd all be chanting my name
Then at night I'd be dreaming in pixels
These waveforms kept me company
So clap your hands
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
It's the science of sound
There are some who aren't ready to return
To simple sounds in harmony
So hold their hands
Hold their hands
Hold their hands
It's the science of sound
So raise your hands
Raise your hands
And clap your hands
It's the science of sound
