Two thousand and X, The future, The digital age, 3D TV, Google, a Microwave Oven, The future Twenty thousand songs in the palm of my hand A world of information on demand I cool myself with a blade-less fan A black man is president, Yes We Can Come so far, climbed so high Tamed the lands and the sky But no matter what secrets our scientists find I'm still dissatisfied So tell me Where are all the lasers? Why don't we use them more? Just in dental care, removing excess hair Don't try to tell me that's what we made them for Why aren't lasers doing cool shit? Technology has let us down Why aren't lasers doing cool shit? They're supposed to shoot from guns and make a Pew Pew sound I've seen them in the movies, They're awesome when they zap But lasers in reality are really kind of crap They're being used in medicine to fix peoples eyes When proper laser vision should be used to vaporize Lasers can make a difference, They make a blind man see But if they can't yield a crystal laser shield Someone please tell me what good is it to me? Why aren't lasers doing cool shit? So what for burning DVD's Why aren't lasers doing cool shit? I'd rather use a laser to burn my enemies Don't waste a lasers time fixing your eyes when you should be putting lasers in your eyes so you can shoot lasers from your eyes from your laser eyes to laserize your laser eyes, Your eyes are lasers Laser Solo! Check out our lasers doing cool shit Hey science look at we've done We paid top dollar for this cool shit I hope you jerks are having fun Why aren't lasers doing cool shit? Why aren't we making laser ships and swords Why aren't lasers doing cool shit? Why aren't we lasering the evil alien hordes Sometimes a laser is it's own reward
