Sharks In The Gene Pool
Nomeansno

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 cause 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?
