by Jello Biafra

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?!?
