1994 |
| There’s been a brand neew breakthrough |
| Though they’re not sure what it means |
| We used to blame our parents |
| Now we can pin it on our genes |
| Hey and I’m not talking 501's |
| I don’t mean no pair of pants |
| I’m talking about a future |
| Where nothing’s left to chance |
| If you’rre dumb, fat, queer, or crazy |
| No one is to blame |
| You’ve just been dealt a lousy hand |
| In the genetic poker game |
| And if you start killing people |
| It’s not evil you’re not cruel |
| It’s just a little goop polluting |
| Your genetic swimming pool |
| They can spot the culprit |
| And magnify it on a screen |
| Those scientists and doctors |
| Can pinpoint that nasty genre |
| And with a little engineering |
| They can take that wayward train |
| And they can get it back on track |
| So you’re smart, straight, thin, and sane |
| Abandon what is random |
| Don’t you leave it up to luck |
| Why not submit yourself to a little |
| Genetic nip and tuck |
| Yeah we can put a man upon the moon |
| And we can conquer inner space |
| With a little genetic tinkering |
| We can make a master race |
| Now back there in the first verse |
| I sang that nothing is left to chance |
| We’re locked into a box or a goose step |
| In life’s dna dance |
| Now the future is no mystery |
| Finally you can make plans |
| Yes It’s your destiny and you won it |
| Just pray it stays in your hands |
