The #SimeLab is Searching for Lung Disease Cures

As I was working on my thesis defense slides, I started listening to Lady Gaga's new song, "The Cure." Honestly, I am a total fan of Lady Gaga and love her music. Replaying the song many times over the weekend, I was inspired to write lyrics related to respiratory research projects in the #SimeLab. I hope you like this science-related song.

Lady Gaga – “The Cure”

The #SimeLab is Searching for Lung Disease Cures
Sung to the lyrics of Lady Gaga’s “The Cure”

Lyrics:

Lung scarring makes you breathless
And it will result in death
Since there are few effective treatments
No drugs can reverse scarring
Or stop patchy lung hard’ning
“When you can’t breathe, nothing else matters”

So many knowledge gaps
The Sime lab keeps researching
So many knowledge gaps
That need to be addressed right now
So many knowledge gaps
The Sime lab keeps researching
To help those with lung disease

We want to find the cure, We’ll
We’ll try and fix the lungs
We research the bio,
We’ll try and fix the lungs
Doing experiments each day
Trying to make some good headway
Finding a new therapy
Keep searching for the cure (for the cure)

Breathing smoke from fires and cigs
Harms and damages the lungs
And suppresses immune defenses
Yet, there are few therapies
To help these communities
With smoke induced health consequences

So many knowledge gaps
The Sime lab keeps researching
So many knowledge gaps
That need to be addressed right now
So many knowledge gaps
The Sime lab keeps researching
To help those with lung disease

We want to find the cure, We’ll
We’ll try and fix the lungs
We research the bio, We’ll
We’ll try and fix the lungs
Doing experiments each day
Trying to make some good headway
Finding a new therapy
Keep searching for the cure (for the cure)

We’ll try and fix the lungs
We’ll try and fix the lungs
We’ll try and fix the lungs
We’ll try and fix the lungs

We want to find the cure, We’ll
We’ll try and fix the lungs
We research the bio, 
We’ll try and fix the lungs
Doing experiments each day
Trying to make some good headway
Finding a new therapy
Keep searching for the cure (for the cure)
Keep searching for the cure (for the cure)

We’ll try and fix the lungs
