Thank you all for coming
You’re lucky to be here
Welcome to my TED talk
Enlightenment is near
Don’t wanna overstate my case
But the facts are very clear
The science will persuade you
To make my career
It’s blindingly obvious,
A fundamental truth
If this talk is slick enough
Then you can see it too
(Chorus)
This talk… will set us free
Transform … the way we see
My agent and my publisher
Have confidence in me
If I sell it right
This talk will part the sea
Just follow me!
Equations and citations
Are awful hard to read
Breathless, sing-song banter
Is what the public needs
I’ll put glasses on the masses
So everyone can see
That my TED talk
Will change the course of history
Come on all you boys and girls
My TED talk will change the world
No more need for books or school
I’ll re-define the golden rule
What you see is what you get
Right here on the Internet
So follow me!
Just follow me!
