Throw Your Landlord Out The Window Lyrics by Evolution Control Committee

Buddha Bleach

1990

[Verse 1]
Rent and blood pressure's rising
Yesterday the check was sent
Learning physics from a book
It's interesting, but won't pay rent
My landlord is such a dolt
He thinks his ass is royalty
But he's the one with a cellular phone
And he owns all the property
I live on the third floor
My window's about 25 feet off the ground
My formulas tell me that something would take
Five-quarters of a second to hit the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Now, I wonder what object one might use in this little gravitational experiment? Hmmm...
[Chorus]
Why don't you throw your landlord out the window?
How long 'til he hits the ground?
Throw your landlord out the window
And make sure that he makes a sound
Like AAAAAAAGH!
Must have tripped over the cat
[Verse 2]
Gravity pulls things towards the earth
At 32 feet per second squared
The formula used for free fall
Is h equals half of gt squared
T represents the time in seconds
H represents the height of fall
But height is twenty five, we know
So it's t for which we need to solve
Let's multiply both sides by two
Divide by g, and take the square root
That leaves us with a formula
Of the square root of 2h/g=t
[Pre-Chorus]
We'll put the numbers in a number line, but it's important right now to not forget the purpose of this this problem:
[Chorus]
To throw your landlord out the window
How long 'til he hits the ground?
Throw your landlord out the window
Make sure that he makes a sound
Like AAAAAAAGH!
Must have tripped over the carpeting
[Verse 3]
Put in the numbers, and h/g
Becomes 25 over 32
Multiply by two and that
Gives 50 over 32
To get the square root, we have
To multiply by 2 over 2
This gives us 100 over 64
But doesn't change the value
The square root of that is ten over eight
And that factors down to five over four
And that's the answer--the number of seconds
From the third floor window express to the door
[Pre-Chorus]
And that's the answer! That's how long it would take if you wanted to go and, uh, well, heh heh, uhh...
[Chorus]
To throw your landlord out the window
How long 'til he hits the ground?
Throw your landlord out the window
Make sure that he makes a sound
And remember to throw him from the north window, 'cause things fall slower near the equator!
Throw your landlord out the window
How long 'til he hits the ground?
Throw your landlord out the window
Make sure that he makes a sound
