Dna |
We are made of DNA |
We are made of DNA |
Deoxyribonucleic |
Acid is what we are made of |
We are made of DNA |
We are made of DNA |
Strands of double helix |
Are where all these bodies came from |
In the story of life on this crazy planet |
The protagonist isn’t man, no |
It’s a microscopic information package |
Called deoxyribonucleic acid |
The DNA strand has the same basic plan |
In every living thing, every plant |
Every animal, every little flea |
Has the same proteins with a certain percentage |
Of the same genes arranged identically |
It’s no coincidence; |
it means every living thing |
Has a shared ancestor with every living thing |
This is true for Jews and Christians and Sufi mystics |
And Buddhists and every religion and superstition |
If you can listen to this it means you’re passing through |
This existence on a wave of DNA |
And you’re just one of its newest inventions |
We are made of DNA |
We are made of DNA |
Deoxyribonucleic |
Acid is what we are made of |
We are made of DNA |
We are made of DNA |
Strands of double helix |
Are where all these bodies came from |
Now if you want me to tell you how a simple molecule |
Could build bodies so well with such an obvious wealth |
Of variation and adaptation, well |
In DNA’s case it’s ‘cause it copies itself |
And makes little mistakes which would not really help |
Except that one in every million is a slight improvement |
And leaves more copies, whether mice or humans |
And that’s what keeps this whole life thing movin' |
Changing and growing and competing for mates |
‘Cause that’s the only way to keep your DNA |
Up in the race, which explains a lot |
Like how animals and plants all behave in the wild |
So next time you shake hands or break dance |
Or make plans, don’t forget the straight facts |
The information that makes your brains and hands |
Comes from one place: DNA strands |
We are made of DNA |
We are made of DNA |
Deoxyribonucleic |
Acid is what we are made of |
We are made of DNA |
We are made of DNA |
Strands of double helix |
Are where all these bodies came from |
Yeah, this goes out to Watson and Crick |
Who discovered the twist |
And to the Human Genome Project |
And to those who speed up the process |
I mean like Digital PCR |
Record a gene faster than a VCR |
This is the future so you better get used to it |
This is what we are |
