Nomeansno - Sharks In The Gene Pool songtekst

Je score:


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?
