Nobel Prize Songtext
von Simple Kid

My father changed the world
But no one gave him prizes
The scientific world
Never realized just what he′d done
He kept me warm
He kept me warm

My father changed the world
In many shapes and sizes
But critics and their commentators
Will never celebrate the work he done
To keep me warm
Safe and dry
Safe from harm
And build my home
I home I know
I home I loved
I hope that old man's watching now


Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
And no one realized

My father ruled the world
But time will take its prizes
The scientific boy with big ideas
Beset by compromises when I came along
A foolish boy
My troubled mind
My wayward ways
But still you came
To take me home
A home I loved
I hope you′re watching over now

Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
And after all this time
I realise
