May I have your attention, please?
May I have your attention, please?
Will the real land modeler please sign up?
I repeat
Will the real land modeler please sign up?
We’re gonna have a problem

Y’all act like you never seen a plant physiologist before
Scorning behind the door like an monkey watching an kitten learning to roar
And pretended applauding in public more appreciatively than before

They eventually were to fight, writing worst reviews (Agh)
In the follow of the “Oh, wait, no way, are you kidding
He didn’t just do what I think he should, did he?”
And the editor said
Nothing, you idiots, the editor is not on your side, he is kidnapped by the reviewer 2 (Ha-ha)

Researchers love Land models
“Chicka-chicka-chicka, land modelers, I appreciate that
Look at them, sitting in front of four monitors, typing their you-know-what
Coding the equations from the you-know-who”, “Yeah, but they are useful though”

Yeah, we probably wrote too many equations for people to understand
But no more than the useless sentences from your copy-paste command
Sometimes we want to teach you how an argument should stand
But can’t, as the technical details are not meant for job or grant

“Your manuscripts are in my folders, your manuscripts are in my folders”
And if I am unhappy, you might just get direct rejects
And that’s the message we deliver to young scientists
And expect the reviewers do not know what the model is
Of course, they’re gonna know when the word is

By the time they hit the deadline, they’ve got email alerts, don’t they?
We ain’t nothin’ but doctors
Well, some of us parasites who bleed others like leeches
But if we all revenge others with rejects and lack of novelties
Then there’s no way to promote science or technology advances

But if you feel what I feel, I got the antidote
Guys, throw away your keyboards, single the chorus, and it goes

I’m Land modeler, yes, I am a real modeler
All you sick reviewers are just toddlers
So won’t the real land modelers please sign up
Please sign up, please sign up?
’Cause I’m Land modeler, yes, I’m a real modeler
All you sick reviewers are just toddlers
So won’t the real land modelers please sign up
Please sign up, please sign up?
