Perfect world, just in time
Perfect babies, by design
Purge the ones that can’t run
Judge the lives won’t be much fun
Labs getting patents, DNA owning
Remaking people, through human cloning

Used to love any kid that breathed
But now we don’t want ‘em unless they’re Ivy League

Headless Hens make better eating
Engineered sheep, engineered feeding
Mammoth salmon spread altered genes
Big busted cows, bug killing beans
Miracle foods we’re promised if we try it
But hungry people can’t afford to buy it

Labs getting profits, DNA mixing
It’s not the crops it’s the world that needs fixing.

Monkeys know, we can’t deny
If kids are born somebody must
die When life ain’t urgent, you know it’s blue
Earlybird specials will have to start at two
Rich live for centuries the poor die young
US will look like LaLanne and Sarandon

Labs making profits, Trojan Horse towing
Thousand Years of Boredom brought by cell regrowing

When life is sold and manufactured
Nothing’s sacred, community is fractured
Dissin’ ain’t wrong, McVeigh is just a vandal
Columbine High is just a petty scandal

Assembly plants using genes
Turn flesh and blood into biomachines.
Life getting profits, DNA forming
What’s so scary about global warming?
