This is a physics parody of the 90's hit. It's about half-life.
Now look, I'm not trying to break any copyright rules here. It's just a parody so chill out. Blur's a great band, and Parklife is a great song. So please. Don't sue me.
Of course, they're still not quite Oasis.

Lyrics:
There is a term in nuclear physics that concerns with decay which is known as (half-life)
The amount of time for something to go down to half of its amount is also known as (half-life)
Archaeologists who likes carbon dating gets intimidated by the decays. They love a bit of it. (half-life)
Even chemists studying first-order kinetics. You should calm down with the reaction rates mate, just go outside.
[Chorus]
All the atoms, so many atoms
They decay half by half,
Half by half in lengths of half-life.
Atoms decay when they want, but when in masses we can guess how they decay. (half-life)
They disappear exponentially, producing a nice radioactive decay curve. (half-life)
Half-life's easy to find, you just divide natural log of 2 by the substance's decay constant. (half-life)
And then we're happy for the rest of the day, knowing that we can find the amount of decay of any element.
[Chorus]
Half-life (half-life)
Half-life (half-life)
It's got nothing to do with fifty percent of your age you know. (half-life)
And it's not the unreleased game that the internet goes on and on and on about. (half-life)
[Chorus x2]
