First the urine test - now this
|
First the urine test - now this!
|
Why do all the best technology advances
|
Always wind up in the worst possible hands
|
|
Through dna analysis
|
We may one day conquer disease
|
A "perfect" baby every time
|
By mapping and manipulating people's genes
|
|
Cosmetic surgery before you're born
|
Know in advance what you'll die of
|
Everyone is useful and the same
|
Swimmers bred like horses for olympic teams
|
|
Life insurance? be serious!
|
You have to get your genes screened first
|
Toxic chemicals? fumes at work?
|
No sweat! get a gene transplant
|
|
Otherwise you'll lose your job do
|
You wanna wind up out in the streets?
|
And raise your children in campgrounds and shelters?
|
And beg to eat
|
|
There's too many sharks in the gene pool
|
Too many chewed up bodies on the shore
|
Too many sharks in the gene pool
|
Too many leftovers rotting all around us
|
|
First the urine test - now this!
|
Why do the best technological advances
|
Keep winding up as...
|
|
Uniform hybrid species
|
For fresh-looking pest-proof food
|
An apple can sit on the shelf for years
|
When we irradiate the molecules
|
|
But where did the nutrition go?
|
And what's taken it's place?
|
Slipshod tampering with science
|
Out of control factory farm eugenics
|
|
Slaughterhouses in lowa
|
Filled with tumor-infested cows
|
Failed experiments hidden 'til sold
|
To your local school lunch program
|
|
Grade D, but edible
|
Our food, our life, our attitude
|
Suffocating in what we refuse to recycle
|
Time bombs fester in every town
|
|
Billions of dollars spent every year
|
Searching for a cure for cancer
|
Why not spend that money instead
|
To wipe out pollution that causes the cancer
|
|
There's too many sharks in the gene pool
|
Too many screw-ups washing on shore
|
Too many sharks in the gene pool
|
Too many preventable accidents among us
|
|
Meryl Streep... where are you?
|
|
Where did american know how go
|
Why do japanese build better stereos
|
Is it 'cos our best minds can't get a job
|
Except when they help make toys for the Pentagon
|
|
Germ warfare, more bombs
|
Germ warfare, more bombs
|
Our whole economy's based on fear and death
|
How long can we get away with this?
|
|
And we live here
|
|
Instead of better health we get a.i.d.s.
|
Instead of nourishment we get steroids
|
The most popular selections at celebrity sperm banks
|
Are sports heroes
|
|
Gap widens between the haves and the have-nots
|
Rich and powerful breed only with themselves
|
We all know what happens when too much of this happens
|
The offspring just ain't real bright
|
|
How else can you explain
|
The erosion of talent and the vision thing
|
To the point where the best that they can come up with
|
For our future role models and leaders
|
|
Are vicious blind machines
|
Like Albert Gore and Dan Quayle
|
Why do the best solutions and advances
|
Get thrown away in the worst possible hands
|
|
There's too many sharks in the gene pool
|
Too many carcasses washing on shore
|
Too many sharks in the gene pool
|
Avalanche of toxic guts all around us
|
|
We're incompetent as human beings
|
Even worse at playing God
|
|
Wrong people
|
Right place
|
Ruling class
|
Gets the only pass
|
To board the ark
|
For outer space
|
In 2001
|
What about this place?
