The Freshman Experiment

from The Freshman Experiment

Experiments are really fickle,
Sometimes they don’t work.
And when that happens experimenters feel like total jerks.
But sometimes when you least expect it something genius hits,
Like Bocci Ball or Tetris or a cream that kills your zits.
That monumental, experimental next big thing could be the freshman experiment
The Freshman Experiment.
The season’s sleeper hit
It’s really hit or miss.
The Freshman Experiment
The Freshman Experiment
Totally could be a big pile of shit.
Some widgets crash,
Some colors clash,
Some gadgets never take.
Some singles using dating sites are destined for heartbreak.
And this is no exception no one’s written songs this way.
We’re keeping pace to change the face of web communiqué.
Unless the whole thing explodes in our face.

May not ever make a cent.
It’s an experiment.

The Freshman Experiment
May go viral and be bigger than rent.

It was just an idea,
It was only a thought,
A spark we had while drinking too much maker’s mark.
What if what we say shouldn’t be on a stage?
What if the next show we write is a webpage, a website?
Anything genius sounds a little bit crazy.
But this idea could make us rich, drunk and lazy.
Only when we got around to counting our assets.
Our kick ass plan kicked our puny white asses.
I’m not down with FTP –
Yeah, you know me,
I like chord progressions and recording sessions.
The coding was foreboding,
The data was beta,
But it really doesn’t matter ‘cuz twelve months later our idea has grown,
It has a life of its own.
It has a url that lots of people call home.
Here’s to Caleb, Ella, Saramaile and Chellybean.
We got to know you all through the computer screen.
And this may be a failure,
An idea that went wrong.
So was Howard Dean, Sports night, Merrily We Roll Along.
Take a last screen shot of our rhymes and our hooks before Freshx goes down in the history books.
Sayonara Posterchild and Christine Coke.
Send a Digg to her spin-off,
Or a Facebook poke.
As for me and Kait?
Don’t call or text.
See, we’re already on what’s coming next.

The next big experiment
The next big experiment.
You don’t know when it will hit.
When will it ever hit?
The next big experiment
The next big experiment.
It could also be a big pile of shit.
The Freshman Experiment
The Freshman Experiment.
We’re so sad to see it end.
Why does it have to end?
The Freshman Experiment
The Freshman Experiment.
It’s the beginning,
Just the beginning,
It’s the beginning of a new trend.
Whoa-oh. Whoa-oh. Yeah.
Watch it snowball, going viral, as it spirals into cyberspace!
Whoa-oh. Whoa-oh. Yeah.
