LYRICS:
Your system's crashing and you don't know why
You want to hang down your head and cry
Pull yourself together ... there's no time to be blue
I'm going to tell you just what to do ...
Go to the Zoo
Take a walk around the Zoo
Yeah the System Zoo will enlighten you
You got to listen to the animals, they'll talk to you ...
You got your sources and sinks
You got to know how to think about it
Stocks and flows
That's where it stops, and where it goes
Oscillations, delays, and rates of change
You got nonlinear effects that are really strange
You these signals runnin' round in a feedback loop
That's the way it goes down in the Systems Zoo
Na-na-na-naaa-naaa-na-naa-na
Loop, loop
Na-na-na-naaa-naaa-na-naa-na
Loop, loop
Yeah if your system's comin' down, and you don't know what to do
You got to take a walk around in the System Zoo
Every system's idea of fun
Is to maintain equilibrium
If you push it to grow to fast
Your going to reach overshoot and collapse ...
Now let me tell you a little story ...
A man learns to fish, he fishes better than the rest
He buys afew boats with the rewards of his success
Takes the money that he makes and buys a whole damn fleet
Till the ocean's full of boats, but there's no fish in the sea ...
Now what didn't he do?
Go to the Zoo ...
Get your butt down to the Zoo
Yeah the System Zoo will enlighten you
You got to listen to the animals, they'll talk to you ...
You got your sources and sinks That's the way it goes down in
You got to know how to think about it
Stocks and flows
That's where it stops, and where it goes
Oscillations, delays, and rates of change
You got nonlinear effects that are really strange
You these signals runnin' round in a feedback loop
That's the way it goes down in the Systems Zoo
Na-na-na-naaa-naaa-na-naa-na
Loop, loop
Na-na-na-naaa-naaa-na-naa-na
Loop, loop
Yeah if your system's comin' down, and you don't know what to do
You got to take a walk around in the System Zoo -- Yeah!
