Don't want this hard work gone to waste.  And I sure would like some sweet grant money  And I'm submitting tomorrow, wha-do-ya say?   [Chorus 1:]  When I'm broke  When I'm broke  Research will suffer when I'm broke  My lab will suffer, it's not fair  New advances going nowhere, oh  Research will suffer when we're broke   [Verse 2:] I got my grant back for the second time 'round   The one with the saddest of reviews    It's got good things, it's got new things, but it's not enough for funding    But it sure could be saved by you   [Chorus 2:]  When we're broke  When we're broke  Research will suffer when we're broke  Labs will suffer, it's not fair  Trainees pulling out their hair, oh  Research will suffer when we're broke    [Final Chorus:]  When we're broke  When we're broke  Your gonna miss us when we're broke  New treatments won't be there  Folks will suffer everywhere, oh  Progress will end when we're broke
