"Technology vs. Nature" is a song in the Phineas and Ferb episode, "Perry Lays an Egg", which takes place while Candace, Phineas and Ferb are trying to figure out how to care for the egg.
Lyrics[]
Motherhood's for life; it's not something in which you dabble
For machines not built to last, our love is only techno-babble
Mother knows what's necessary 'cause she always pays attention
That's why they say necessity's the mother of invention
Now I got you on the run
Technology: 0, Mother Nature: 1!
When a child cries out in the night, it's rarely for the washing machine!
Science can't improve upon a mother's heart, but given time, it could trick out a spleen!
So if you think that you could build a better mother, let it go,
'Cause nature already nailed it 60 million years ago,
You see, before we'd even begun:
Game over! Technology lost, Mother Nature won!
Game over! Technology lost, Mother Nature won!

Trivia[]
- During the lines "Science can't improve upon a mother's heart. But given time, it could trick out a spleen!" one of the doctors looks like Dan Povenmire and one of the announcers from "The Fast and the Phineas" (which was modelled on Dan).
- Prior to confirmation of the BMI title, the song was referred to as Mother Nature Won on the Phineas and Ferb wiki.
- This is one of two songs to mention a "washing machine" in the lyrics, the other being Robot Riot from Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension.
