Newton's Theory from Pinkerton Pendlebury by Pinkerton Pendlebury
Steve’s father was a Scientist so he grew up with an appreciation and understanding of commonly accepted scientific principles. This song is about the recent denigration of our scientific and medical institutions and the broader academic community by mischievous forces such as conspiracy theorists and the Murdoch press.

Lyrics
Newton’s Theory
Somebody’s trying
Trying to buy me
Someone’s defying
Lying yet still
There is no sound
From trickle down
Someone disputing
Logic and science
Some reinforcing
Fiction from fact
What comes around
Still goes around
Chorus
What goes up
Must come down
Newton’s theory
Remains sound
Galileo
He had found
Was the moon
Goes around
Somebody’s drawing
Findings from nothin
Someone is driven
Pockets to fill
Progress unwound
Flat-earthers astound
Chorus
Some people buying
willing and able
Chorus
Penicillin
Another story
Won a Nobel
For Howard Florey
Rosa Franklin
Using X-ray
Was the leader in
D N A
