Triumph Lyrics by Funky49

Dirty Apes Discover Science

2012

[verse1: funky49]
Failure defiant, mad sweat on the brow
We found triumph and we gonna fly now
Studied long and hard
To the break of dawn cause we
Practiced too much to get it all wrong
First believers, underdogs to achievers
Cheers of peers now we got the fever
Thank the teachers
We had the finest
We are standing on the shoulders of giants
[hook]
Triumph... On the shoulders of Giants
(that's where we stand!) x2
[verse2: AlpineKat]
Minds from the past, yo they laid down tracks
That you can build on, divert from, make your own path
New advances owe a debt to the expanse of history
Like the two old rings that feed the LHC
Cuz every great breakthrough needs to be refined
Correct the theories of the Curies, Darwin and Einstein
Lifted on their shoulders see what no one’s seen before
Ain’t nothing like discovery makes a human spirit soar
[verse3: funky49]
Greeks got elite in Egyptian sheets all right with
Brains boosted with solutions from old Kemites
Plato gave way to Descartes Rene, read by Franklin
Proud of his farts but
Ben was hated by transcendentists cause
Too much reason got them all pissed, they were
Nature lovin', gut trustin Gs
Who inspired the actions of the great Ghandi
Slick Rick tick-tock didn't stop
Afrika Bambatta made the whole Planet... Rock
Kraftwerk interpolated made his craft work
Vocode the hook, track goes berserk
Previous teachers and all the past masters
Figured things out so now we doing it faster
Their lessons are blessin's finest
We are standing on the shoulders of giants
HOOK
