"Theorems" (to the tune of ' "Heroes" ', by David Bowie)

I, I will be pure
And you, you will use rigor
And nothing will take it away
We can show them, just for one day
We can prove theorems, just for one day

And you, you can have bounds
And I, I'll take infinite time
We're joint authors, and that is a fact
We're coauthors, and that is that
Mathematics'll keep us together
It will not be just for one day
We can prove theorems for ever and ever
What do you say?

I, I wish I could prove
Like my teachers, my teachers can prove
Though sometimes it's hard to keep it together
I can show them, for ever and ever
Oh I can prove Theorems, just for one day

I, I will be pure
And you, you will use rigor
And nothing will take it away
We can prove Theorems, just for one day
We can do it, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the board (by the board)
Arguments, far above our heads (over our heads)
And we tried, and we were never ignored (never ignored)
Our mentors, were always on our side
Oh we can show them, for ever and ever
Then we could prove Theorems, just for one day

We can prove Theorems
We can prove Theorems
We can prove Theorems
Just for one day
We can prove Theorems

We're students, and nothing will help us
Maybe it's hopeless, then you better not stay
But we could graduate, maybe one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, maybe one day?
