Evolution's Dead
We don't know what kind of games that we're playing
Claims we're portraying
Cut apart the code to the genes we're displaying
Breaking out the confines
Forget the guidelines
Darwin's way of thinking
Throw it to the sidelines
We can't stop
It's the perfect time
Humans redesigned
At the top
Say goodbye to God
This is our time
Don't know the games that we're playing
Claims we're portraying
Evolution's dead
Has been
Stop delaying
Academics getting worried
Rush into a new type of eugenics in a scurry
And the ethics getting blurry
Doctor He said, Can't stop in a hurry
Don't deter me, did it early
Might be wrong, did it anyway
Had the medical community in disarray
World Health Org said stop research underway
Embryos, not okay
Edit genes, too risque
Things that are better suited adapt to their environment
Improve reproduction, better survival to retirement
Could run its course but evolution has no aim
Mutations making matters worse and living everywhere's the same
We could go and make a case adjust our traits
For when the human race escapes to outer space
Survival of the species we are at stake
No taking breaks, slow and steady doesn't always win the race
We don't know what kind of games that we're playing
Claims we're portraying
Cut apart the code to the genes we're displaying
Breaking out the confines
Forget the guidelines
Darwin's way of thinking
Throw it to the sidelines
We can't stop
It's the perfect time
Humans redesigned
At the top
Say goodbye to God
This is our time
Don't know the games that we're playing
Claims we're portraying
Evolution's dead
Has been
Stop delaying
G,C,A,T
Everything you need to code a cro like you and me
We've got the brains, the brawn, the lock, the key
Charpentier and Doudna out here making history
Single wrong mutation leads us to a new disease
Genetic engineering engineers a death machine
One change to your genome caused cancer
Dead and gone, parents tried to make a better dancer
DNA inserted, deleted, modded, replaced
We don't know the implications affecting the human race
The natural process displaced
We rush into it with haste
Disgraced
Human beings erased, gone without a trace
Scientists saying insignificant to diversity
2010, brought to you by Oxford University
Dealing with diseases? Environmental distress?
Well genetic engineering can put those burdens to rest
Innovation, variation, save us from elimination
Conservation demonstration, leading us to condemnation
No one has an explanation but we can't stop
If we want to save the species then we're starting with the top
We don't know what kind of games that we're playing
Claims we're portraying
Cut apart the code to the genes we're displaying
Breaking out the confines
Forget the guidelines
Darwin's way of thinking
Throw it to the sidelines
We can't stop
It's the perfect time
Humans redesigned
At the top
Say goodbye to God
This is our time
Don't know the games that we're playing
Claims we're portraying
Evolution's dead
