Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
There's been a brand
neew breakthrough
G 
Though they're not sure
D 
what it means
We used to blame our parents
A 
Now we can pin it on our genes
D 
Hey and I'm not talking 501's
G 
I don't mean no pair of pants
D 
I'm talking about a future
A

Where nothing's left to chance

Verse 2
D 
If you'rre dumb, fat, queer, or crazy
G 
D 
No one is to blame
You've just been dealt a lousy hand
A 
In the genetic poker game
D 
And if you start killing people
G 
It's not evil you're not cruel
D 
It's just a little goop polluting
A 
D 
Your genetic swimming pool

Interlude 1

Verse 3
CHORUS:
They can spot the culprit
And magnify it on a screen
D 
Those scientists and doctors
Can pinpoint that nasty genre
G 
And with a little engineering
They can take that wayward train
D 
And they can get it back on track
So you're smart, straight,
A 
thin, and sane

Interlude 2

Verse 4
D 
Abandon what is random
G 
D 
Don't you leave it up to luck
Why not submit yourself to a little
A 
Genetic nip and  tuck
D 
Yeah we can put a man upon the moon
G 
And we can conquer inner space
D 
With a little genetic tinkering
A 
D 
We can make a master race

Verse 5
D 
Now back there in the first verse
G 
D 
I sang that nothing is left to chance
We're locked into a box or a goose step
A 
In life's DNA dance
D 
Now the future is no mystery
G 
Finally you can make plans
D 
Yes It's your destiny and you won it
A 
D 
Just pray it stays in your hands
